HESS J0632+057 belongs to a rare subclass of binary systems which emits gamma-rays above 100 GeV. It stands out for its distinctive high-energy light curve, which features a sharp ``primary'' peak and broader ``secondary'' peak. We present…

We have studied the Be/X-ray binary (BeXRB) pulsar eRASSU J050810.4-660653 recently discovered in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Timing and spectral features of the source have been discussed in detail using NuSTAR \& XMM-Newton…

We report on a BeppoSAX observation of the transient X-ray pulsar 4U 0115+63 close to periastron. This led to the discovery of a dramatic luminosity variation from ~2x10^34 erg/s to ~5x10^36 erg/s (factor ~250) in less than 15 hr. The…

Low-mass X-ray binaries are binary systems composed of a compact object and a low-mass star. Recently, a new class of these systems, known as symbiotic $X$-ray binaries (with a neutron star with a M-type giant companion), has been…
