Modeling pulse profiles in X-Ray pulsars with accretion column
Keyword(s):
The pulse profiles of the radiation coming from X-ray pulsars with an accretion column were modeled. Gravitational lensing and redshift in the Schwarzschild metric, as well as the reflection of X-Ray photons from the surface of a neutron star, were taken into account. On the basis of the obtained pulse profiles an analysis of possible errors in the measurements of the luminosities of X-ray pulsars associated with the inability of the observer to correctly take into account the anisotropy in the radiation emerging from the neutron star, as well as the angles between the pulsar’s rotation axis, the magnetic axis and the line of sight, was carried out.
