IGR J18483-0311 is a poorly known transient hard X-ray source discovered by INTEGRAL during observations of the Galactic Center region performed between 23--28 April 2003. Aims: To detect new outbursts from IGR J18483-0311 using INTEGRAL…

The X-ray transient XMMU J174716.1-281048 was serendipitously discovered with XMM-Newton in 2003. It lies about 0.9 degrees off the Galactic Centre and its spectrum shows a high absorption (~8 x 10E22 cm^(-2)). Previous X-ray observations…

GRS 1758-258 is one of the few persistent hard X-ray emitters (E>100 keV) in the Galaxy. Using the ASCA satellite, we have obtained the first detailed data on GRS 1758-258 in the 1-10 keV range, where previous observations were affected by…

The anomalous X-ray pulsar 4U 0142+61 was observed with Suzaku on 2007 August 15 for a net exposure of -100 ks, and was detected in a 0.4 to ~70 keV energy band. The intrinsic pulse period was determined as 8.68878 \pm 0.00005 s, in…

The fourth transient accreting millisecond pulsar XTE J1807-294 was observed during its February/March 2003 outburst by INTEGRAL, partly simultaneously with the XMM-Newton and RXTE satellites. We present here the first study of the 0.5-200…

We report the results of the Suzaku X-ray observation of XSS J12270-4859, one of the hard X-ray sources in the INTEGRAL catalogue. The object has been classified as an intermediate polar (IP) by optical spectra and a putative X-ray period…

We report on the identification of a new soft gamma-ray source, IGR J12319-0749, detected with the IBIS imager on board the INTEGRAL satellite. The source, which has an observed 20-100 keV flux of ~8.3 x 10^{-12} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1}, is…

The X-ray burster 4U1850-087, located in the Galactic globular cluster NGC6712, is an ultracompact binary (orbital period~21 min),likely harbouring a degenerate companion.The source has been observed at soft gamma-rays several times with…

The population of clearly identified anomalous X-ray pulsars has recently grown to seven, however, one candidate anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) still eludes re-confirmation. Here, we present a set of seven Chandra ACIS-S observations of the…

A new pulsating X-ray source, AX J183220-0840, with a 1549.1-s period was discovered at R.A.= 18h32m20s and Dec.=-8d40'30'' (J2000, uncertainty=0.6degree) during an ASCA observation on the Galactic plane. The source was observed two times,…

We present a follow-up X-ray and radio study of the field containing the 7-s X-ray pulsar AX J1845-0258, the serendipitous ASCA source whose characteristics are found to be similar to those of the anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs). Newly…

IGR J18179-1621 is a hard X-ray binary transient discovered recently by INTEGRAL. Here we report on detailed timing and spectral analysis on IGR J18179-1621 in X-rays based on available INTEGRAL and Swift data. From the INTEGRAL analysis,…

We report the discovery of a new X-ray pulsar, XTE J1810-197. The source was serendipitously discovered on 2003 July 15 by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) while observing the soft gamma repeater SGR 1806-20. The pulsar has a 5.54 s…

We present here timing and spectral analyses of SGR J1830$-$0645 based on an AstroSat observation carried out on 2020 October 16, about a week after the onset of its first detected X-ray outburst. Using data taken with the Soft X-ray…

We report on observations of the X-ray pulsar IGR J16320-4751 (a.k.a. AX J1631.9-4752) performed simultaneously with INTEGRAL and XMM-Newton. We refine the source position and identify the most likely infrared counterpart. Our simultaneous…

Context: AXJ1845.0-0433 was discovered by ASCA in 1993 during fast outburst activity characterized by several flares on short timescales. Up to now, the source was not detected again by any X-ray mission. Its optical counterpart is…
