X-ray time lags are complicated in nature. The exact reasons for complex lag spectra are yet to be known. However, the hard lags, in general, are believed to be originated due to the inverse Comptonization process. But, the origin of soft…

The Galactic black hole GRS 1915+105 exhibits generic High-Frequency Quasi-periodic Oscillations (HFQPOs) at $\sim$ 67 Hz only during the radio-quiet 'softer' variability classes. We present the time-lag properties associated with HFQPOs in…

We have characterized the energy-dependent X-ray variability properties of the Seyfert~1 galaxy NGC 3783 using archival XMM-Newton and Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer data. The high-frequency fluctuation power spectral density function (PSD)…

Using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer we have measured 27 microsecond time delays in 830 Hz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) between 4-6 keV and 11-17 keV in 4U 1608-52, with high-energy photons lagging low energy photons, and found upper…

We report the first detection of a Fe K$_{\alpha}$ line and soft X-ray lag in the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) NGC 7456 ULX-1. The XMM-Newton spectra show the presence of the 6.4 keV Fe line at 2.6$\sigma$ confidence and an upper limit…

Accreting black holes and neutron stars in their hard (low) state show not only very similar X/gamma-ray spectra but also that the behaviour of their light curves is quite similar which can be quantified as having similar power-density…

We exhibit, by compiling all data sets we can acquire, that the Fourier frequency dependent hard X-ray lags, first observed in the analysis of aperiodic variability of the light curves of the black hole candidate Cygnus X-1, appear to be a…

We report results from the XMM-Newton observation of the radio-loud quasar PG 1425+267 (z=0.366). The EPIC-pn data above 2 keV exhibit a double-peaked emission feature in the Fe K band. The higher energy peak is found at 6.4 keV and is…

The microquasar GRS1915+105 was observed by BeppoSAX in October 2000 for about ten days while the source was in \rho-mode, which is characterized by a quasi-regular type I bursting activity. This paper presents a systematic analysis of the…

We present an extended corona model based on ray-tracing simulations to investigate X-ray time lags in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). This model consists of two axial point sources illuminating an accretion disc that produce the…

We present the results of X-ray spectral-timing analysis of a 90ks XMM-Newton observation of the nearby, broad line, early-type AGN NGC5273. The X-ray spectrum revealed the clear presence of a reflection component at high energies, with a…

X-ray reverberation lags have recently been discovered in both active galactic nuclei (AGN) and black hole X-ray binaries. A recent study of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1608-52 has also shown significant lags, whose properties…

We present the temporal analysis of X-ray observations of the radio-loud Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy (NLS1) PKS 0558-504 obtained during the XMM-Newton Calibration and Performance Verification (Cal/PV) phase. The long term light curve is…

In the past five years, a flurry of X-ray reverberation lag measurements of accreting supermassive black holes have been made using the XMM-Newton telescope in the 0.3-10 keV energy range. In this work, we use the NuSTAR telescope to extend…

Spectral-timing products of kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) systems, including energy- and frequency-dependent lags, have been analyzed previously in 4U 1608-52, 4U 1636-53, and 4U 1728-34.…

We use both time-domain and Fourier techniques to study the correlated optical and X-rays variability in the black hole X-ray nova XTE J1118+480. Its X-ray timing properties, such as the shape of the X-ray power spectrum and…
