X-ray pulsars shine thanks to the conversion of the gravitational energy of accreted material to X-ray radiation. The accretion rate is modulated by geometrical and hydrodynamical effects in the stellar wind of the pulsar companions and/or by instabilities in accretion discs.

X-RAY EVOLUTION OF PULSAR WIND NEBULAE [PDF]
During the search for counterparts of very-high-energy gamma-ray sources, we serendipitously discovered large, extended, low surface brightness emission from PWNe around pulsars with the ages up to ~100 kyrs, a discovery made possible by the low and stable background of the Suzaku X-ray satellite.

X-ray Flares from Postmerger Millisecond Pulsars [PDF]
Recent observations support the suggestion that short-duration gamma-ray bursts are produced by compact star mergers. The x-ray flares discovered in two short gamma-ray bursts last much longer than the previously proposed postmerger energy-release time scales. Here, we show that they can be produced by differentially rotating, millisecond pulsars after

X-ray polarimetry of X-ray pulsar X Persei: another orthogonal rotator?
ABSTRACT X Persei is a persistent low-luminosity X-ray pulsar of period of ≈ 835 s in a Be binary system. The field strength at the neutron star surface is not known precisely, but indirect signs indicate a magnetic field above 1013 G, which makes the object one of the most magnetized known X-ray pulsars.

A Radio Pulsar/X-ray Binary Link [PDF]
From X-ray Binary to Pulsar Pulsars with millisecond rotational periods are thought to originate from neutron stars in low-mass x-ray binaries that had their spin frequencies increased by long-lasting mass transfer from their companion stars. Using data from a radio pulsar survey, Archibald

Unpulsed X-rays from Pulsars [PDF]
The radio emission from pulsars is energetically insignificant, yet its distinctive character led to their discovery and subsequent identification with rotating magnetized neutron stars. In the intervening thirteen years, a wealth of radio data have been accumulated from which we have learned something of the magnetospheric properties, stellar ...

Pulsars and X-Ray Sources [PDF]
We summarize some theoretical aspects of the X-ray emission from genuine pulsars and their relation to the more general problems of X-ray sources.
