We report the discovery of coupling between periodic and aperiodic variability and ~12-mHz X-ray quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) from the X-ray binary pulsar Her X-1 using data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. We found two different…

Low and intermediate frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in black hole candidates are believed to be due to oscillations of the Comptonizing regions in an accretion flow. Assuming that the general structure of an accretion disk is…

Observations of the star EPIC 220208795 (2MASS J01105556+0018507) reveal a single, deep and asymmetric eclipse, which we hypothesize is due to an eclipsing companion surrounded by a tilted and inclined opaque disk, similar to those seen…

Elliptical accretion disk models for tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been recently proposed and independently developed by two groups. Although these two models are characterized by a similar geometry, their physical properties differ…

The Kepler object KIC 12557548 shows irregular eclipsing behaviour with a constant 15.685 hr period, but strongly varying transit depth. In this paper we fit individual eclipses, in addition to fitting binned light curves, to learn more…

A group of poorly studied eclipsing variables (the classification of which is marked as uncertain and/or the period of brightness changes is uncertain) has been studied with the using of the photometric observations of the TESS mission and…

AH Her is a Z Cam-type dwarf nova with an orbital period of ~ 0.258 d. Dwarf nova oscillations and long-period dwarf nova oscillations have been detected, but no quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) and negative superhumps (NSHs) have been…

One of the fundamental properties of an intermediate polar is the dynamical nature of the accretion flow as it encounters the white dwarf's magnetosphere. Many works have presumed a dichotomy between disk-fed accretion, in which the WD…

Hard X-ray INT observations of SS 433 carried out during 2003-2005 years with an analysis of precessional and orbital variability is presented. The width of X-ray eclipse in the 25-50 keV range at the precessional phase $\psi=0.1$…

We present a broad-band X-ray timing study of the variations in pulse behavior with superorbital cycle in the low-mass X-ray binary Her X-1. This source shows a 35-day superorbital modulation in X-ray flux that is likely caused by…

We have developed a systematic procedure to study the disks in Algol-type binaries using spectroscopic analysis, synthetic spectra, and tomography. We analyzed 119 H-alpha spectra of TT Hya, an Algol-type eclipsing interacting binary,…
