Abstract

We analyzed 39 ks NuSTAR data of Cen X-3 through both orbital- and pulse-phase resolved spectroscopy. Orbital-phase resolved spectra show extrinsic fluctuations due to absorption by surrounding plasma, as the spectral fluctuation mainly emerges below 10 keV. Pulse-phase resolved spectra, on the other hand, show intrinsic fluctuations depending on effectiveness of Comptonization, since the spectrum becomes hard above 10 keV at the pulse peak.
