We report on the results of a campaign to observe the SXT GRO J1655-40 in outburst using HST, XTE and GRO and AAT. This outburst was qualitatively quite different to other SXT outbursts and to previous outbursts of this source. The onset of…
The Be/X-ray binary pulsar RX J0440.9+4431 underwent a giant outburst in late 2022 and lasted three months. The Insight-HXMT has observed this source at several instances of the entire outburst in 2022-2023. We used these bright outburst…
We present the results of detailed analysis of pointed X-ray observations by RXTE PCA/HEXTE of the black hole X-ray binary (BHXRB) system V4641 Sgr (= SAX J1819.3-2525) during its outburst of August 2003. Soft X-ray (3-20 keV) flux…
To probe further the possible nature of the unidentified source IGR J17098-3628, we have carried out a detailed analysis of its long-term time variability as monitored by RXTE/ASM, and of its hard X-ray properties as observed by INTEGRAL.…
We report the detection of the state transitions and hysteresis effect in the two mini-outbursts of the black hole (BH) transient GRS 1739$-$278 following its 2014 major outburst. The X-ray spectral evolutions in these two mini-outbursts…
We report on a campaign of X-ray and soft gamma-ray observations of the black hole candidate H 1743-322 (also named IGR J17464-3213), performed with the RXTE, INTEGRAL and Swift satellites. The source was observed during a short outburst…
We report BATSE earth-occultation observations of the long-term soft gamma-ray (30 keV - 1.7 MeV) flux and spectral variability of the transient source GRO J1719-24 covering a 1000-day period between 13 January 1993 and 10 October 1995.…
In 2022-2023, the X-ray pulsar RX J0440.9+4431 underwent a Type II giant outburst, reaching a peak luminosity L_x ~ 4*10^{37} erg/s. In this work, we utilize Insight-HXMT data to analyze the spectral evolution of RX J0440.9+4431 during the…
We have studied the 1999 soft X-ray transient outburst of XTE J1859+226 at radio and X-ray wavelengths. The event was characterised by strong variability in the disc, corona and jet - in particular, a number of radio flares (ejections) took…
We present an analysis of the RXTE observations of 4U 1630-47 during its outburst of 1998. The light curve and the spectral evolution of the outburst were distinctly different from the outbursts of the same source in 1996 and in 1999.…
The black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127 went into outburst in 2005 June. Rather than fade into quiescence as most black-hole-candidate transients do, it has remained in a low hard spectral state for most of the $\sim$ 9 years after…
We present two observational campaigns performed with the RXTE satellite on the black hole transient H 1743-322. The source was observed in outburst on two separate occasions between October-November 2008 and May-July 2009. We have carried…
In this paper we report on a long multi-wavelength observational campaign of the supergiant fast X-ray transient prototype IGR J17544-2619. A 150 ks-long observation was carried out simultaneously with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR, catching the…
We investigate systematically four outbursts of black hole system GX 339-4 observed by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in both spectral and timing domains and find that these outbursts have some common properties although they…
We present optical, UV and X-ray monitoring of the short orbital period black hole X-ray binary candidate Swift J1753.5-0127, focusing on the final stages of its 12$-$year long outburst that started in 2005. From September 2016 onward, the…
We present the results of analysis of the X-ray transient source MAXI J1836-194 during its outburst in August 2011. MAXI GSC detected the source on 30th August 2011, when it started rising from the quiescence. We have studied the source…
We report on a spectroscopic analysis of the X-ray emission from IGR J17062-6143 in the aftermath of its June 2020 intermediate duration Type I X-ray burst. Using the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer, we started observing the…
We present a spectral and timing study of the NuSTAR and Swift observations of the black hole candidate IGR J17091-3624 in the hard state during its outburst in 2016. Disk reflection is detected in each of the NuSTAR spectra taken in three…
We present quasi-simultaneous radio, (sub-)millimetre, and X-ray observations of the Galactic black hole X-ray binary GX 339-4, taken during its 2017--2018 outburst, where the source remained in the hard X-ray spectral state. During this…
XTE J1818-245 is an X-ray nova that experienced an outburst in 2005, first seen by the RXTE satellite. The source was observed simultaneously at various wavelengths up to soft gamma-rays with the INTEGRAL satellite, from 2005 February to…
