The 2011 outburst of the black hole candidate IGR J17091-3624 followed the canonical track of state transitions along with the evolution of Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (QPO) frequencies before it began exhibiting various variability classes…

IGR J17591-2342 is a recently INTEGRAL discovered accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar that went into outburst around July 21, 2018. To better understand the physics acting in these systems during the outburst episode we performed detailed…

A Be/X-ray binary system known as RX J0440.9+4431 (or LS V +44 17) is a potential member of the uncommon gamma-ray binary class. With an orbital period of 150 days, this system consists of a neutron star and a Be star companion. The MAXI…

Analysis of the data obtained with the RXTE observatory during a powerful outburst of the X-ray pulsar V0332+53 in 2004-2005 is presented. Observational data covering the outburst brightening phase are analysed in detail for the first time.…

The black hole X-ray transient GX 339$-$4 was observed with the {\it Swift} satellite across the hard-to-soft state transition during its 2010 outburst. The ultraviolet (UV) flux measured with the filter UVW2 of the {\it Swift}/UVOT started…

The Accreting Millisecond X-ray Pulsar IGR J17591-2342 is a LMXB system that went in outburst on August 2018 and it was monitored by the NICER observatory and partially by other facilities. We aim to study how the spectral emission of this…

We report on our discovery and follow-up observations of the X-ray source SAX J1747.0-2853 detected in outburst on 1998, March 10 with the BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras in the energy range 2-28 keV. The source is located about half degree off…

The low-mass X-ray binary GS 1826-238 is presently unique for its consistently regular bursting behavior. In previous Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) measurements between 1997 November and 2002 July, this source exhibited (nearly)…

XTE J1701-407 is a newly discovered X-ray transient source. In this work we investigate its flux variability and study the intermediate long and short bursts discovered by Swift on July 17, and 27, 2008, respectively. So far, only one…

We present the spectral and timing analysis of X-ray observations performed on the Galactic black hole transient GRS 1716-249 during the 2016-2017 outburst. The source was almost continuously observed with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory…

We study X-ray and variability and distance of GX 339-4. We derive d>7 kpc, based on recent determination of the binary parameters. We study data from the Ginga/ASM, the CGRO/BATSE, and the RXTE/ASM, PCA and HEXTE. From 1987 to 2004, GX…

We present here the main characteristics of the BHC IGR J17091-3624 outbursts occurred several times since 1994. Since 2003, the source has been extensively observed by INTEGRAL and Swift. In particular, we report results on the last 2011…

HBC 722 (V2493 Cyg) is a young eruptive star in outburst since 2010. It is an FU Orionis-type object with an atypically low outburst luminosity. Because it was well characterized in the pre-outburst phase, HBC 722 is one of the few FUors…
