Extract

Cyclotron lines have been observed in the X-ray spectra of two pulsed sources: Her X-1 (Trümper et al. 1978) and 4U 0115 + 63 (Wheaton et al. 1979). The generally accepted model for these objects involves an accretion flow from a companion star in a close binary system onto small regions close to the magnetic poles of a strongly magnetized neutron star. Immediately above the surface, matter is confined in an accretion column by the magnetic field.
