We report on two optical candidates for the counterpart to an X-ray source in the SMC, 1WGA J0053.8-7226, identified as a serendipitous X-ray source from the ROSAT PSPC archive, and also observed by the Einstein IPC. Its X-ray properties,…

In this work, the temporal and spectral properties of the poorly studied X-ray pulsar Swift J1808.4$-$1754 were investigated in the 0.8-79 keV energy range based on the data from the NuSTAR and Swift observatories collected during the 2014…

The five-component profile of the 2.7-ms pulsar J0337+1715 appears to exhibit the best example to date of a core/double-cone emission-beam structure in a millisecond pulsar (MSP). Moreover, three other MSPs, the Binary Pulsar B1913+16,…

Using the Parkes radio telescope we have carried out deep observations of eleven unassociated gamma-ray sources. Periodicity searches of these data have discovered two millisecond pulsars, PSR J1103-5403 (1FGL J1103.9-5355) and PSR…

The advent of sensitive low frequency radio observations has revealed a number of diffuse radio objects with peculiar properties that are challenging our understanding about the physics of the intracluster medium. Here, we report the…

We studied the radio source associated with the ultraluminous X-ray source in NGC 5408 (L_X ~ 10^{40} erg/s). The radio spectrum is steep (index ~ -1), consistent with optically-thin synchrotron emission, not with flat-spectrum core…
