Abstract
We report RossiXTE and BeppoSAX observations of the X-ray pulsar RX J0146.9 +6121, the neutron star/Be binary system with the longest known spin period . Data obtained one month after the most recent outburst (July 1997), show th at the source has returned to its normal luminosity of a few 10(34) erg s(- 1) while spin-up continued at an average rate of similar to 5 x 10(-8) s s( -1).
