Scientific paper

Pulse period and binary orbit period in X-ray pulsars have been found to be correlated, depending on the nature of the mass-donor. We have examined the high-energy continua of these sources above 20 keV. We find that Be-star binaries have the hardest spectra, while those of objects accreting by Roche lobe overflow have the softest spectra. The temperatures derived from bremsstrahlung or exponential fits to archival High Energy Astronomical Observatory (HEAO)-A4 all-sky survey data, Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) and High Energy X-ray Experiment (HEXE) data of Be and supergiant binaries correlate with the position of the sources on the pulse-period vs. orbit period diagram.
