Abstract In order to understand the physical origin of strong magnetic field of neutron stars, we propose to observe three binary pulsars, 1E1145.1-6164, 4U 1145-619, and GX 301-2, in search for or confirmation of electron cyclotron resonance effects. Furthermore, to understand the physics of cyclotron higher harmonics, we propose to observe Her X-1 and Cen X-3. Her X-1 is to be observed with a staring mode for 80 ksec, while the remaining four pulsars are to be observed simultaneously for 200 ksec under a 5X5 dithering mode.

Mission Description The INTEGRAL (International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) mission, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on October 17, 2002, was designed to study high-energy phenomena in the universe. INTEGRAL was operating until february 2025 and it was equipped with three high-energy instruments: the Imager on Board the INTEGRAL Satellite (IBIS), the Spectrometer on INTEGRAL (SPI), and the JEM-X (Joint European Monitor for X-rays). Its Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) provided optical V-band magnitude measurements, complementing the high-energy observations.
