Abstract (from CDS):

We report on the timing and spectral analysis of transient Be X-ray pulsar GRO J1750-27 using the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array(NuSTAR) observation from 2021 September. This is the fourth outburst of the system since 1995. The NuSTAR observation was performed during the rising phase of the outburst. Pulsations at a period of 4.450710(1) s were observed in the 3-60 keV energy range. The average pulse profile comprised of a broad peak with a weak secondary peak, which evolved with energy. We did not find any appreciable variation in the X-ray emission during this observation. The broad-band phase-averaged spectrum is described by a blackbody, a power law, or Comptonization component. We report the discovery of Fe Kα line at 6.4 keV, along with the presence of two cyclotron resonant scattering features of around 36 and 42 keV. These lines indicate a magnetic field with the strength of 3.7–0.3+0.1 ×1012 and 4.4 ± 0.10 x 1012 G for the neutron star. We have estimated a source distance of ∼13.6-16.4 kpc based on the accretion-disc torque models.
