We present an analysis of ~390 ksec of data of the Z source GX 340+0 taken during 24 observations with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite. We report the discovery of a new broad component in the power spectra. The frequency of this…

We examine the nonlinear variability of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) using the bicoherence, a measure of phase coupling at different Fourier frequencies. We analyse several observations of RXTE/PCA archival data of the black hole…

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 use simultaneous Swift and RXTE observations of the black hole binary GX 339-4 to measure the inner radius of its accretion disk in the hard state down to 0.4% L_{Edd} via modeling of the thermal disk emission and the relativistically…

We present the spectral and timing analyses of \textit{AstroSat} observations of the Black Hole X-ray Binary GX 339-4 when the source was close the peak of the outburst in 2024. We find that both the spectral and timing variability of the…

A major question in the study of black hole binaries involves our understanding of the accretion geometry when the sources are in the hard state. In this state, the X-ray energy spectrum is dominated by a hard power-law component and radio…

A new outburst of GX 339$-$4 in 2021 was monitored by the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (\textit{Insight}-HXMT). By using the data of \textit{Insight}-HXMT from February to March 2021, we make the X-ray timing analysis of this new…

One of the popular models for the low/hard state of Black Hole Binaries is that the standard accretion disk is truncated and the hot inner region produces via Comptonization, the hard X-ray flux. This is supported by the value of the high…

We use frequency-resolved spectroscopy to examine the energy spectra of the prominent low frequency QPO and its harmonic in GX 339-4. We track the evolution of these spectra as the source makes a transition from a bright low/hard to hard…

We report on the geometry of accretion disk and high energy coronae in the strong Comptonization state (the very high/steep power law/hard intermediate state) based on a Suzaku observation of the famous Galactic black hole GX 339-4. These…

We present results from the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) observations of the new black hole X-ray binary candidate MAXI J1631-479 at two epochs during its 2018-2019 outburst, which caught the source in a disk dominant…

We present the results obtained from the spectral studies of black hole X-ray binary GX~339--4 using \astrosat~ observations during its 2021 outburst. \astrosat~ observed the source in the intermediate state for $\sim600$ ks. The combined…

The high-frequency bump, characterized by a frequency exceeding ~30 Hz, represents a seldom-explored time-variability feature in the power density spectrum (PDS) of black-hole X-ray binaries. In the 2002, 2004, 2007 and 2010 outbursts of GX…

We have studied the fast timing and spectral behavior of the black hole candidate (BHC) GX 339-4 using all 1 - 20 keV EXOSAT ME data: the July 1983, March 1984, May 1984 and April 1985 observations. In April 1985 GX 339-4 was in a weak low…

X-ray and near-infrared ($J$-$H$-$K_{\rm s}$) observations of the Galactic black hole binary GX 339--4 in the low/hard state were performed with Suzaku and IRSF in 2009 March. The spectrum in the 0.5--300 keV band is dominated by thermal…

We analyzed RXTE/PCA and HEXTE data of the transient black hole binary GX 339-4, col- lected over a time span of eight years. We studied the properties and the behavior of low frequency quasi periodic oscillations (QPOs) as a function of…

We present a detailed study of the 5 Hz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) recently discovered in the bright X-ray transient and black-hole candidate GRS 1739-278 (Borozdin & Trudolyubov 2000) during a Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observation…

We have studied the spectro-temporal properties of the neutron star low mass X-ray binary GX 9$+$1 using data from \textit{NuSTAR/FPM} and \textit{AstroSat/SXT} and \textit{LAXPC}. The hardness-intensity diagram of the source showed it to…
