... In particular, with the spectrometer SPI (20 keV-8 MeV), we detect in three observations an emission extending above 200 keV and for the first time even up to 350 keV for a neutron star LMXRB, GS 1826-24. ... The additional component above 200 keV is most probably of non-thermal origin. ... Figure 1. ... We reveal with SPI a hard tail up to 220 keV for 4U 1812-12 (Figure 1) and even up to 350 keV for GS 1826-24 (Figure 2), representing the hardest emission ever detected for a Neutron Star LMXRB. ...
