Scientific paper

Time series analysis have been performed in search for the periodic signal of PSR B1509-58 in the COMPTEL database. We have marginal, and self-consistent, evidence for emission in the (1.0-3.0) MeV energy band. The pulse agrees both in phase and shape with that observed by OSSE and GINGA. The lack of pulsations in the (3.0-10.0) MeV range is in conflict with an extrapolation of the γ-ray spectrum observed by OSSE, indicating a spectral break for photon energies above 3 MeV. This is consistent with γ-ray attenuation in the strong magnetic field at the vicinity of the neutron star.
