New observations of pulsed X-ray emission from NP 0532
Large-area proportional counters sensitive from 0.6 to 23 keV were used to observe about 3 min of pulsed X-ray emission from NP 0532 during two lunar occultation experiments. A detailed pulse profile with 65 $mu$s resolution shows that the x-ray primary pulse shape is essentially identical to its optical counterpart. Spectral data on the pulsed X-ray emission are presented. A pulse- by-pulse examination of the data shows no evidence for temporal variability. (AIP)
