A steady hard X‐ray emission between 20‐100 keV was observed from the 104 sec pulsar 0535+26 during the quiescent phase of transient activity. The present observations corespond to the binary phase of 0.7 taking 110d as the binary period. The observed flux was comparable to ∼20 milli‐crab and a power law spectrum with spectral index &agr;∼1.2 fits the data, and significantly differs from the observed spectrum during the outburst.
