Fast Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs, frequencies of $\sim 20 - 1840$ Hz) have been recently discovered in the ringing tail of giant flares from Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs), when the luminosity was of order $10^{41}-10^{41.5}$ erg/s.…

We present X-ray spectral and timing behavior of Cyg X-3 as observed by AstroSat during the onset of a giant radio flare on 01-02 April 2017. Within a time-scale of few hours, the source shows a transition from the hypersoft state (HPS) to…

We have observed microquasar GRS 1915+105 at 1.28 GHz for 8 days from June 18 to July 1, 2001 using Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). We have seen several isolated radio baby flares of varying intensity and duration. We have also…
