We perform phase-resolved spectroscopy of the accreting millisecond pulsar, SAX J1808.4-3658, during the slow-decay phase of the 2002 outburst. Simple phenomenological fits to RXTE PCA data reveal a pulsation in the iron line at the spin…
Two \textit{NuSTAR} observations of the luminous X-ray pulsar LMC X-4 in October and November 2015 captured several bright accretion flares from this source, which has a long history of stable pulse and superorbital behavior. We present a…
The supernova impostor SN 2010da located in the nearby galaxy NGC 300, later identified as a likely supergiant B[e] high-mass X-ray binary, was simultaneously observed by NuSTAR and XMM-Newton between 2016 December 16 and 20, over a total…
A pointed observation on the galactic high-mass X-ray binary 4U 0114+65 was carried out with BeppoSAX in order to compare the X-ray spectral and timing characteristics observed by this satellite over the broadest range of energies ever…
A fraction of the Ultra Luminous X-ray (ULX) sources are known to be accreting neutron stars as they show coherent X-ray pulsations with pulse periods ranging from ~1-30 seconds. While initially thought to host intermediate-mass black…
We investigate timing and spectral characteristics of the transient X-ray pulsar 2S 1417$-$624 during its 2018 outburst with \emph{NICER} follow up observations. We describe the spectra with high-energy cut-off and partial covering fraction…
In this study, X-ray spectral and pulse timing analysis of the high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) pulsar 4U 1907+09, based on the observations with RXTE are presented. Spin rate measurements indicate a new spin-down episode with a rate close to…
The spin-down rate of PSR J1023+0038, one of the three confirmed transitional millisecond pulsars, was measured in both radio pulsar (RMSP) and X-ray pulsar (LMXB) states. The spin-down rate in the LMXB state is only about 27 % greater than…
XMM-Newton archival data for the Small Magellanic Cloud have been examined for the presence of previously undetected X-ray pulsars. One such pulsar, with a period of 202 s, is detected. Its position is consistent with an early B star in the…
We present X-ray and optical data on the Be/X-ray binary (BeXRB) pulsar IGR J01054-7253 = SXP11.5 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations of this source in a large X-ray outburst reveal an 11.483…
We present a study of timing properties of the accreting pulsar 2S 1417-624 observed during its 2018 outburst, based on Swift/BAT, Fermi/GBM, Insight-HXMT and NICER observations. We report a dramatic change of the pulse profiles with…
X-ray timing properties of the magnetar SGR 1900+14 were studied, using the data taken with Suzaku in 2009 and NuSTAR in 2016, for a time lapse of 114 ks and 242 ks, respectively. On both occasions, the object exhibited the characteristic…
In this paper, we presented a detailed timing analysis of a prominent outburst of 4U 0115+63 detected by \textit{Insight}-HXMT in 2017 August. The spin period of the neutron star was determined to be $3.61398\pm 0.00002$ s at MJD 57978. We…
The results of the broadband spectral and timing study of the recently discovered transient X-ray pulsar MAXI J0903-531 in a wide range of luminosities differing by a factor of ~30 are reported. The observed X-ray spectrum in both states…
We have investigated the variability of the binary X-ray pulsar, SMC X-1, in data from several X-ray observatories. We confirm the ~60-day cyclic variation of the X-ray flux in the long-term monitoring data from the RXTE and CGRO…
M82 X-2 is the first pulsating ultraluminous X-ray source (PULX)to be identified. Since the discovery in 2014, NuSTAR has observed the M82 field 15 times throughout 2015 and 2016. In this paper, we report the results of pulsation searches…
Measuring a pulsar's rotational evolution is crucial to understanding the nature of the pulsar. Here we provide updated timing models for the rotational evolution of six pulsars, five of which are rotation phase-connected using primarily…
We report the timing and broad-band spectral properties of the Be transient high mass X-ray binary pulsar GRO J1008-57 using a Suzaku observation in the declining phase of its 2007 November-December outburst. Pulsations with a period of…
We revisited the BeppoSAX observation of SAX J0635+0533, suggested as a possible counterpart to the gamma-ray source 2EG J0635+0521. We have discovered a 33.8 ms pulsation from the source and derived an improved position, consistent with…
