dc.description.abstractCyclotron lines are formed through transitions of electrons between discrete Landau levels in the accretion columns of accreting neutron stars with strong (B ∼ 10¹² G) magnetic fields. We summarize recent results on the formation of the spectral continuum of such systems, describe recent advances in the mod-eling of the lines based on a modification of the commonly used Monte Carlo approach, and discuss new results on the dependence of the measured cyclotron line energy from the luminosity of transient neutron star systems.en
