We report here results from pulse arrival time delay analysis of the eclipsing high mass X-ray binary pulsar LMC X-4 using observations made with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, XMM-Newton, NuSTAR and AstroSat. Combining the orbital…

We have investigated the temporal variability of the X-ray flux measured from the high-mass Xray binary LMCX-4 on time scales from several tens of days to tens of years, i.e., exceeding considerably the orbital period (1.408 days). In…

We explore the long-term evolution of the spin period of the High Mass X-ray Binary (HMXB) pulsar Vela X-1 over a period of 46 yr. Our analysis indicates nearly periodic variations in the spin period of the pulsar on time-scales of about…

While the distribution of spin periods of High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) spans more than four orders of magnitude (69ms - 25min), the few known X-ray pulsars accreting from very low mass companions (<1 Msun) have very similar periods…

We report on the results of observations of the binary X-ray pulsar LMC X-4 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. Our analysis of the Doppler delays of the 13.5-s X-ray pulsations yields the most accurate determination of the LMC X-4…

Rotation-powered millisecond radio pulsars have been spun up to their present spin period by a $10^8$ - $10^9$ yr long X-ray-bright phase of accretion of matter and angular momentum in a low-to-intermediate mass binary system. Recently, the…

Thanks to long-term X-ray monitoring, a number of interacting binaries are now known to show X-ray periodicities on timescales of tens to hundreds of binary orbits. In some systems, precession of a warped accretion disc is the leading model…

Long-term X-ray modulations on timescales from tens to hundreds of days have been widely studied for X-ray binaries located in the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. For other nearby galaxies, only the most luminous X-ray sources can be…

Spin evolution of X-ray pulsars in High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) is discussed under various assumptions about the geometry and physical parameters of the accretion flow. The torque applied to the neutron star from the accretion flow and…

It has been reported that there are two populations of Be/X-ray pulsars, with the pulse period distribution peaked at $\sim$ 10 s and $\sim$ 200 s, respectively. A possible explanation of this bimodal distribution is related to different…

There exists a special class of X-ray pulsars that exhibit very slow pulsation of $P_{\rm spin}>1000$ s in the high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs). We have studied the temporal and spectral properties of these superslow pulsation neutron star…

We report on the long-term evolution of the spin period of the symbiotic X-ray pulsar GX 1+4 and a possible interpretation within a model of quasi-spherical accretion. New period measurements from BeppoSAX, INTEGRAL and Fermi observations…

We present spectral variations of the binary X-ray pulsar LMC X-4 using the RXTE/PCA observations at different phases of its 30.5 day long super-orbital period. Only out of eclipse data were used for this study. During the high state of the…

We investigate the spin-period evolutions of recycled pulsars in binary accreting systems. Taking both the accretion induced field decay and spin-up into consideration, we calculate their spin-period evolutions influenced by the initial…

Several relatively bright, persistent X-ray sources display regular pulses, with periods in the range of 700-10000 s. These sources are identified with massive close binaries in which a neutron star accretes material onto its surface. The…
