Scientific paper

We present the first discovery of pulsed iron line emission from an X-ray binary, namely Cen X-3. Compared with the continuum pulsations, the iron line pulsations are shallow (50% change in amplitude), smeared (the profile is a single-peaked sinusoid) and phase shifted (by about half a cycle). We also discuss the contraints on the origin of the line imposed by this discovery and by other observations.
