We perform a homogeneous timing and spectral analysis of two <em>NuSTAR</em> observations, modeling time-averaged and intensity-resolved spectra with several continua commonly used for accreting pulsars, and use spectral simulations to quantify the significance and model dependence of putative CRSFs. No coherent pulsations are detected and we constrain the pulsed fraction to be <1.5%. The spectra are well described by an absorbed blackbody plus cut-off power-law continuum, but show shallow absorption-like residuals around ∼ 20 keV and at higher energies ( ∼ 40–50 keV). These features improve the fits and can reach high formal significances for some continua, yet do not constitute firm, model-independent CRSF detections in our baseline analysis. Intensity-resolved spectroscopy hints at shifts of the apparent line centroid with flux.
