Title:Fermi/GBM Monitoring of Transient Accreting Pulsars
Abstract:Since August 2008 we have been monitoring accreting pulsars using the detectors of the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) on Fermi. I review the observations of the detected transient outbursts. These observations allow us to track the pulse profile and frequency during outburst. To date we have detected a total of 67 outbursts from 15 transient sources. These sources are all known or candidate Be/X-ray binaries, except for one which may be a Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient.
