We present a detailed temporal analysis for the eclipsing high-mass X-ray binary system Cen X-3 using the Insight-HXMT data in 2018 and 2020. Three consecutive and high statistic observations among data are used for the precise timing…
The pulse shapes simulated in the accompanying paper Part $-$ I are compared with observations of a model binary accreting X-ray pulsar, Centaurus X-3. With known Cen X-3 inclination angles provided as input to the $\texttt{AXP4}$ code, the…
We study the recently discovered Be/X-ray pulsar MAXI J0655--013 using the 2022 \emph{NuSTAR} observations. The paper is the first detailed study of the timing and spectral properties of the source. The pulse profiles of the pulsar vary…
We present a comprehensive spectral analysis of the high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) pulsar Centaurus X-3 with the Suzaku observatory covering nearly one orbital period. The light curve shows the presence of extended dips which are rarely seen…
We present X-ray light curves of Cygnus X-3 as measured by the recently launched AstroSat satellite. The light curve folded over the binary period of 4.8 hours shows a remarkable stability over the past 45 years and we find that we can use…
Cen X-3 shows alternate spin-up/spin-down episodes lasting for tens of days. We study the orbital profiles and spectra of Cen X-3 during these spin-up/spin-down intervals, using long-term data monitored by Fermi/GBM, Swift/BAT and MAXI/GSC.…
We report the timing and spectral studies of the accreting X-ray pulsar 4U 2206+54 using astrosat and hxmt observations taken in 2016 and 2020 respectively. X-ray pulsations from the system are detected by both missions. The astrosat…
Results on timing and spectral properties of the Be/X-ray binary pulsar 3A 0726-260 (4U 0728-25) are presented. The binary was observed on 2016 May 6-7 with the Large Area X-ray Proportional Counter (LAXPC) and Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT)…
We present here results from the X-ray timing and spectral analysis of the X-ray binary Cyg X-3 using observations from Large Area X-ray Proportional Counter (LAXPC) on-board AstroSat. Consecutive lightcurves observed over a period of one…
We present the results obtained from analysis of two AstroSat observations of the high mass X-ray binary pulsar OAO 1657-415. The observations covered 0.681-0.818 and 0.808-0.968 phases of the $\sim$10.4 day orbital period of the system, in…
We report observations of SMC X-1 in three new high-intensity states with ROSAT HRI in December 1995, May 1997, and March 1998 in which pulsations with a period of 0.70769+/-0.00006 sec, 0.70706+/-0.00001 sec, and 0.706707+/-0.00001 sec…
A nonlinear nature of the binary ephemeris of Cygnus X-3 indicates either a change in the orbital period or an apsidal motion of the orbit. We have made extended observations of Cygnus X-3 with the Pointed Proportional Counters (PPCs) of…
The Be X-ray pulsar, SMC X-3 underwent a giant outburst from 2016 August to 2017 March, which was monitored with the Swift satellite. During the outburst, its broadband flux increased dramatically, and the unabsorbed X-ray luminosity…

We present an analysis of $23~$yr of pulse arrival times for PSR B1259$-$63. The pulsar is in a binary orbit about its approximately $20~M_{\odot}$ companion LS$~$2883. Our best-fitting timing solution has none of the pulse-number…
The High Mass X-ray Binary Pulsar SAXJ2103.5+4545 has been observed with INTEGRAL several times during the last outburst in 2002-2004. We report a comprehensive study of all INTEGRAL observations, allowing a study of the pulse period…
