Beam Pattern Evolution of Accreting X-Ray Pulsar 1A 0535+262 during Its 2020 Giant Outburst

We report on pulse profile decomposition analysis of bright transient X-ray pulsar 1A 0535+262 using broadband Insight-HXMT observations during a giant outburst of the source in 2020. We show that the observed pulse profile shape can be described in terms of a combination of two symmetric single-pol...
