Many observations have been reported in the field of X-ray pulsars, but the mechanism for X-ray emission is not well understood. The X-ray spectra can not be simply described in terms of blackbody or thermal bremsstralung. The high-energy cutoff could be due to cyclotron absorption in high (≧1012 Gauss) magnetic fields. For the lower energy it can be fitted by a power law with energy index α.
