Abstract
The archetypical wind-accreting X-ray pulsar Vela X-1 is known to be variable on a large range of timescales. Relatively tranquil phases exist as well as extended phases of high variability and flaring. We present results from a systematic study of variations with orbital phase and other timescales based on RXTE/ASM and Swift/BAT data.
