| contents | Using the Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC onboard the SRG observatory we have detected, for the first time, X-ray pulsations with a period of ~106 s from the poorly-studied high-mass X-ray binary RX J0535.0-6700 located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), thus proving that the accretor is a neutron star with strong magnetic field. Pulsations with similar period were also found in archival archival data from Chandra and XMM-Newton telescopes. Using photometry from WISE we shown that the source demonstrate significant variability in IR during the last twenty years, which could be caused by a secular evolution of the decretion disk. This discovery makes RX J0535.0-6700 another member of the large family of X-ray pulsars with Be-type companions in the LMC. |
