abstract

GRO J1008$-$57 is a high-mass X-ray binary for which several claims of a cyclotron resonance scattering feature near 80 keV have been reported. We use NuSTAR, Suzaku, and Swift data from its giant outburst of November 2012 to confirm the existence of the 80 keV feature and perform the most sensitive search to date for cyclotron scattering features at lower energies. We find evidence for a 78$^{+3}_{-2}$ keV line in the NuSTAR and Suzaku data at $> 4\sigma$ significance, confirming the detection using Suzaku alone by Yamamoto et al. (2014). A search of both the time-integrated and phase-resolved data rules out a fundamental at lower energies with optical depth larger than 5% of the 78 keV line. These results indicate that GRO J1008$-$57 has a magnetic field of $6.7\times10^{12} (1+z)$ G, the highest of known accreting pulsars.

    First high-cadence observation of an X-ray pulsar transition to quiescence shows a gradual exponential fade consistent with the disc instability model, without requiring the propeller effect.
