We present the result of three BeppoSAX observations of the X-ray binary pulsar A0535+26 in its quiescent state. The source is quite well detected up to 200 keV (6 sigma detection in the stronger observation). No Iron line is detected in…

We report the detection of a complex of narrow X-ray absorption features from the low-mass X-ray binary GX13+1 during 3 XMM-Newton observations in 2000 March and April. The features are consistent with being due to resonant scattering of…

Accreting highly magnetized pulsars in binary systems are among the brightest X-ray emitters in our Galaxy. Although a number of high statistical quality broad-band (0.1-100 keV) X-ray observations are available, the spectral energy…

We report on a BeppoSAX observation of the transient X-ray pulsar 4U 0115+63 close to periastron. This led to the discovery of a dramatic luminosity variation from ~2x10^34 erg/s to ~5x10^36 erg/s (factor ~250) in less than 15 hr. The…

In this paper we present X-Shooter time resolved spectroscopy and RXTE PCA light curves of the ultra-compact X-ray binary candidate 4U 0614+091. The X-Shooter data are compared to the GMOS data analyzed previously by Nelemans et al. (2004).…

We study the variations in the Cyclotron Resonant Scattering Feature (CRSF) during 2011 outburst of the high mass X-ray binary 4U 0115+63 using observations performed with Suzaku, RXTE, Swift and INTEGRAL satellites. The wide-band spectral…

We present results from a BeppoSAX observation of the BAL QSO CSO 755, observed as part of our program to investigate the X-ray properties of highly polarized BAL QSOs. CSO 755 is clearly detected by the BeppoSAX MECS, making it the highest…

Current models that explain giant (type II) X-ray outbursts in Be/X-ray binaries (BeXB), are based on the idea of highly distorted disks. They are believed to occur when a misaligned and warped disk becomes eccentric, allowing the neutron…

We report on the spectral analysis of the peculiar source Cir X-1 observed by the BeppoSAX satellite when the X-ray source was near the periastron. A flare lasting $\sim 6 \times 10^3$ s is present at the beginning of the observation. The…

Using data collected with the BeppoSAX, INTEGRAL and Swift satellites, we report and discuss the results of a study on the X-ray emission properties of the X-ray source 1ES 1210-646, recently classified as a high-mass X-ray binary through…

In this paper we investigate the X-ray spectra and X-ray spectral variability of compact X-ray sources for 3 Chandra observations of the Local Group galaxy M33. The observations are centered on the nucleus and the star forming region NGC…

X-ray spectra of accretion-powered X-ray pulsars can often be described using a power-law continuum with a high-energy cutoff, which might be further modified by additional spectral components. The Be X-ray binary system 4U 0115+63 is well…

We report on a series of outbursts of the high mass X-ray binary XTE J1946+274 in 2010/2011 as observed with INTEGRAL, RXTE, and Swift. We discuss possible mechanisms resulting in the extraordinary outburst behavior of this source. The…

We present a timing and broad-band pulse phase resolved spectral analysis of the transient Be X-ray binary pulsar 1A 1118-61 observed during its outburst in January 2009 using Suzaku observations. Suzaku observations were made twice, once…

We report the discovery with BeppoSAX of a new 170.84 +/- 0.04 s X-ray pulsar, 1SAX J1324.4-6200, found serendipitously in the field of the X-ray binary X1323-619 in 1997 August. The source and periodicity are also detected in archival ASCA…

During a BeppoSAX observation of the low-mass X-ray binary dip source XB 1323-619 a total of 10 type I X-ray bursts and parts of 12 intensity dips were observed. During non-bursting, non-dipping intervals, the 1-150 keV BeppoSAX spectrum…

The discovery of very slow pulsations (Pspin=5560s) has solved the long-standing question of the nature of the compact object in the high-mass X-ray binary 4U 2206+54 but has posed new ones. According to spin evolutionary models in close…

Of the 21 new sources that INTEGRAL discovered up to Feb. 1, 2004, five were detected with the BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras at earlier times. IGR J16320-4751 appears to be a persistently active X-ray source which hints at a supergiant…

PSR B1259-63 is a 48 ms radio pulsar in a highly eccentric 3.4 year orbit with a Be star SS 2883. Unpulsed gamma-ray, X-ray and radio emission components are observed from the binary system. It is likely that the collision of the pulsar…
