Our collaboration is responsible for the study of a sample of 72 low mass X-ray binaries (LMXRB) using the INTEGRAL Core Programme data. In this paper we describe the monitoring programme we have started and the current variability and…

The relationship between X-ray and UV emission during flares, particularly in the context of quasi-periodic pulsations, remains unclear. To address this, we study the impulsive X-ray and UV emission during the eruptive flare of 2011 June 7…

Decades of astrophysical observations have convincingly shown that soft X-ray (SXR; ~0.1--10 keV) emission provides unique diagnostics for the high temperature plasmas observed in solar flares and active regions. SXR observations critical…

Context. About 120 Be/X-ray binaries (BeXBs) are known in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC); about half of them are pulsating with periods from a few to hundreds of seconds. SXP 1323 is one of the longest-period pulsars known in this galaxy.…

The orbital profile of the High Mass X-ray binary IGR J16393-4643 shows a dip in its X-ray intensity, which was previously interpreted as an eclipse. Unlike most eclipsing HMXBs, where the X-ray eclipses are about two orders of magnitude…

We present an X-ray fast-timing and spectral analysis of the type II bursts and the persistent emission (PE) of the Rapid Burster observed with the EXOSAT Medium-Energy Instrument. The Hardness-Intensity and Color-Color Diagrams of the…

Data obtained in the framework of the INTERBALL-Tail Probe (1995-2000) and RHESSI (from 2002 to the present) projects have revealed variations in the X-ray intensity of the solar corona in the photon energy range of 2-15 keV during the…
