We investigated the optical, X-ray, and gamma-ray variability of the pulsar SAX J2103.5+4545. Our timing and spectral analyses of the X-ray and gamma-ray emissions from the source using RXTE and INTEGRAL data show that the shape of its…
We present NuSTAR observations of Vela X-1, a persistent, yet highly variable, neutron star high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB). Two observations were taken at similar orbital phases but separated by nearly a year. They show very different 3-79…
The variability of the X-ray flux from the pulsar GX 301-2 is analyzed by using data from the ART-P telescope of the Granat Observatory. The intensity variations with time scales of several thousand seconds are studied at various orbital…
We conduct a comprehensive analysis of the accreting X-ray pulsar, Hercules X-1, utilizing data from IXPE and NuSTAR. IXPE performed five observations of Her X-1, consisting of three in the Main-on state and two in the Short-on state. Our…
In this paper we present our recent timing and spectral analysis of the X-ray pulsar 4U 1907+09. Our X-ray data consist of an extended set of RXTE & INTEGRAL observations that were analyzed before ({\c{S}}ahiner et al. 2012). From the X-ray…
Pulse profiles from X-ray pulsars often exhibit strong energy dependence and both periodic and aperiodic variations with time. The great variety of profiles observed in various sources, and even from individual sources, makes it difficult…

IGR J0607.4+2205 is a transient Be X-ray binary discovered two decades ago. IGR J0607.4+2205 underwent an outburst in 2023 during which it was observed twice with \textit{NuSTAR}. The main goal of this work is to model the broadband X-ray…
The systematic search for the presence of cyclotron lines in the spectra of accreting X-ray pulsars is being carried on with the BeppoSAX satellite since the beginning of the mission. These highly successful observations allowed the…
We analyse \emph{INTEGRAL} (between 2005 October and 2007 November) and \emph{RXTE} (between 2007 June and 2011 March) observations of the accretion powered pulsar 4U 1907+09. From \emph{INTEGRAL} IBIS-ISGRI and \emph{RXTE}-PCA…
Context: The transient hard X-ray source IGR J11321-5311 was discovered by INTEGRAL on June 2005, during observations of the Crux spiral arm. To date, this is the only detection of the source to be reported by any X/gamma-ray mission. Aims:…
We studied the timing and spectral properties of the Be/X-ray pulsar Swift J1626.6-5156 using the \emph{NICER} observations of its 2021 outburst. The most important observation is the positive correlation of the centroid energy of the…
We performed a detailed pulse phase resolved spectroscopy of the accreting binary X-ray pulsar Her X-1 in the energy range 3.5-75 keV and have established pulse phase profiles for all spectral parameters. For the centroid of the cyclotron…
We report on \textit{NuSTAR} observations of the well-known wind-accreting X-ray pulsar \source\ during a strong spin-up episode that took place in January-March 2019. A high luminosity of the source in a most recent observation allowed us…
Accretion-powered X-ray pulsars offer a unique opportunity to study physics under extreme conditions. To fully exploit this potential, the interrelated problems of modelling radiative transport and the dynamical structure of the accretion…
Accreting X-ray pulsars provide us with laboratories for the study of extreme gravitational and magnetic fields, hence accurate descriptions of their observational properties contribute to our understanding of this group of objects. We aim…
Blazar flare data show energy-dependent lags and correlated variability between optical/X-ray and GeV-TeV energies, and follow characteristic trajectories when plotted in the spectral-index/flux plane. This behavior is qualitatively…
Cyclotron resonance scattering features observed in the spectra of some X-ray pulsars show significant changes of the line centroid energy with the pulsar luminosity. Whereas for bright sources above the so called critical luminosity these…
We present results from four observations of the accreting X-ray pulsar Vela X-1 with RXTE in 1996 February. The light curves show strong pulse to pulse variations, while the average pulse profiles are quite stable, similar to previous…
