A HARD X-RAY POWER-LAW SPECTRAL CUTOFF IN CENTAURUS X-4

A HARD X-RAY POWER-LAW SPECTRAL CUTOFF IN CENTAURUS X-4

The low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) Cen X-4 is the brightest and closest (<1.2 kpc) quiescent neutron star transient. Previous 0.5-10 keV X-ray observations of Cen X-4 in quiescence identified two spectral components: soft thermal emission from the neutron star atmosphere and a hard power-law tail o...
