Scientific paper

Data from Ginga observations of X-ray pulsars is discussed. They include the detection of a finite rate of change of the orbital period in Her X-1, the determination of the braking index of PSR 0540-69 from X-ray pulse timing, the discoveries of new transient X-ray pulsars, the detection of cyclotron line features from Her X-1, 4U 1538-52, V 0332+53 and possibly 1E 2259+586, and the detection of quasi-periodic oscillations phenomena from two X-ray pulsars, Cen X-3 and 4U 1626-67. The detailed investigation of circumstellar matter surrounding the X-ray binary pulsars, through the analysis of energy spectra in the low intensity states, can be performed.
