The source 4U 2206+54 is one of the most enigmatic high-mass X-ray binaries. In spite of intensive searches, X-ray pulsations have not been detected in the time range 0.001-1000 s. A cyclotron line at ~30 keV has been suggested by various…

We present the results of six Suzaku observations of the recurrent black hole transient 4U1630-472 during its decline from outburst from February 8 to March 23 in 2006. All observations show the typical high/soft state spectral shape in the…

We report a systematic analysis of the spin, orbital, and superorbital modulations of 4U 0114+650, a high-mass X-ray binary consists of one of the slowest spinning neutron stars. Utilizing the dynamic power spectrum, we found that the spin…

The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on board Swift has accumulated extensive light curves for 265 sources (not including GRBs) in the energy range 14 to 200 keV. We present here a summary of searches for periodic modulation in the flux from…

We present the results from analyses of Suzaku observations of the supergiant X-ray binaries IGR J16207-5129 and IGR J17391-3021. For IGR J16207-5129, we provide the first broadband (0.5--60 keV) spectrum from which we confirm a large…
