Scientific paper
Since its launch in 1991, the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) has provided a wealth of new information on binary systems containing a magnetized neutron star accreting from a stellar companion. In particular, the all-sky monitoring capability of the BATSE instrument has allowed the first long-term continuous measurements of the flux and torque histories of the brighter accreting pulsar systems. These have given new insights into the processes by which mass and angular momentum are exchanged between the accretion disk and the neutron star, and the role of radiation and X-ray driven winds in these systems. Observations of transient pulsars with BATSE and OSSE have provided new quantitative tests of standard theories of disk-magnetosphere interactions. Although many new insight have been gained, some of the observations present new puzzles and challenge current models of accretion processes. We review these observations, as well as a sampling of other recent results from CGRO and the ROSSI X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE).
