Scientific paper

The Be/X-ray binary 3A 0535+262 has the highest magnetic field determined by cyclotron line studies of all accreting X-ray pulsars, despite an open debate if the fundamental line was rather at ~50 or above 100 keV as observed by different instruments in past outbursts. The source went into quiescence for more than ten years since its last outbursts in 1994. Observing during a `normal' outburst August/September 2005 with Integral and RXTE we find a strong cyclotron line feature at ~45 keV and have for the first time since 1975 determined the low energy pulse profile.
