BeppoSAX observations of an orbital cycle of the X-ray binary pulsar GX301-2

Abstract

We present preliminary results on our campaign of observations of the X-ray binary pulsar GX301-2. BeppoSAX observed this source six times in January/February 1998: at the periastron and apoastron, and at other four, intermediate, orbital phases. We present preliminary results on the GX301-2 spectral and temporal behaviour as a function of orbital phase.
