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.2 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
