Information on resource 'Galactic X-ray Pulsars'

This catalog contains data on the Galactic population of 82 confirmed X-ray pulsars in high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) systems, classified into 18 persistent and 64 transient sources. Key parameters include spin periods, spin evolution (local and global trends), orbital periods, X-ray luminosities, magnetic fields, distances, and detailed companion star characteristics. The data have been compiled through cross-matching with recent HMXB catalogs and databases such as Fortin et al. (2023), Neumann et al. (2023), and Krivonos et al. (2022), supplemented with literature and SIMBAD database analysis. The catalog aims to support studies on stellar evolution, accretion processes, and binary dynamics.
