Location in the Galaxy
The figure below displays the position of accreting X-ray pulsars in the Galaxy as far as known at this moment. Click on the figure for a larger version. Labels indicate the ordinal number in the first column of the table. Uncertainties in the distances are not indicated. Empty symbols represent sources for which there is no distance info in the literature; they have been artificially set to a distance of 7.6 kpc. HEASARC source class identifiers are also given. The spiral arms are from Vallée et al. (2008)[1]. Figure and data provided by Arash Bodaghee, SSL, UC Berkeley.

Gaia Distances
NOTE: The distances here are for the Gaia source that is closest to the SIMBAD position for each object. This means that for objects with poorly-determined positions or no identified optical counterpart, the distance is INCREDIBLY SUSPECT. Until someone has time to go through source-by-source and clean this up, you need to check carefully whether the Gaia source ID listed here actually corresponds to the object you are looking at. The parallaxes are converted to distance by Bailer-Jones et al. (see this paper and this webpage). Again, these should be taken with a hefty grain of salt and are dependent on the priors selected by Bailer-Jones et al.

Updated list of accreting X-ray pulsars (pulse profile extractions)
This is a list to organize a library of pulse profiles for many of the known accreting X-ray pulsars. For this we scanned the NuSTAR archive at Heasarc for all objects that are listed in the two XRB catalogues. All public obsids are downloaded to `/userdata/data/stierhof/pp-class/<object_name>/<obsid>`. This is more than 350 observations! After reprocessing (this creates a folder `reprocessed` in each obsid folder) the region files have to be created. Right now we are not interested in detailed analysis and for bright outbursts the region choice is not that important. If you want to contribute, please create one region file for the source and one for the background. The source should be a circle centered around the brightest part of the image. The background should be an annulus with inner radius as large as the source region, and the outer as large as possible. The source and background region files should be stored in the `reprocessed` folder as `src.reg` and `bkg.reg`. Note: The regions must be valid for both detector modules!
Once the region files are created it is straight forward to automatically extract all dataset. So please don't change anything else in the folder just yet. You can check the table if the data has been prepared (that is, if the `reprocessed` folder exists) and add the region files. If you do, please indicate it in the corresponding line in the table (searching for the source name should be helpful here).
Once we have all region files collected we can extract the pulse profiles!
Notes:
If no _cl.fits files are present in the reprocessed folder, this either means that the preparation failed, or that the observation was not done in science mode. In the latter case we ignore the observations for now.

Correlation between luminosity and CRSF energy
In recent years more and more sources have been observed at different luminosities, allowing us to find correlation between the luminosity and the cyclotron line energy. A summary of the current state of the observations can be found on this page: CRSF energy as function of luminosity
Assignments
Our collaboration has assigned one or two sources to each member to take care of, i.e., to put together the most important information and keep the page up to date in case new data are available or new papers are published. The list can only be accessed if logged in.
