We report timing and spectral studies of the high mass X-ray binary 4U 1700-37 using Insight-HXMT observations carried out in 2020 during its out-of-eclipse state. We found significant variations in flux on a time-scale of kilo-seconds,…

We report on the first simultaneous $NICER$ and $NuSTAR$ observations of the neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1735$-$44, obtained in 2018 August. The source was at a luminosity of $\sim1.8~(D/5.6\ \mathrm{kpc})^{2}\times10^{37}$…

Observations of cooling neutron stars allow to measure photospheric radii and to constrain the equation of state of nuclear matter at high densities. In this paper we concentrate on neutron stars, which show thermal (photospheric) X-ray…

We report on a clear spectral state transition of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 4U1705-44 observed by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. In the X-ray color-color diagram (CCD), the source, classified as an Atoll, samples the upper…

We show an analysis of the spectral and timing properties of X-ray radiation from Z-source during its evolutions when the electron temperature of the Transition Layer (TL) kT_e monotonically decreases from 21 to 3 keV. We analyze episodes…

We report strict upper limits to the radio luminosities of three neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries obtained with the Very Large Array while they were in hard X-ray states as observed with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer: 1E 1724-307, 4U…

We report the first simultaneous measurement of the broad band X-ray (0.3-150 keV) spectrum of the neutron star x-ray binary 4U0614+091. Our data confirm the presence of a hard x-ray tail that can be modeled as thermal Comptonization of…

We use data of the bright atoll source 4U 1705-44 taken with XMM-Newton, BeppoSAX and RXTE both in the hard and in the soft state to perform a self-consistent study of the reflection component in this source. Although the data from these…

We investigate the energy-time lag dependence of the source NGC 4593 using XMM-{\it Newton}/EPIC-pn data. We found that the time lag dependency is linear in nature with respect to the logarithm of different energy bands. We also investigate…

We analyze ~600 ks data from the X-ray observatory Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer of the neutron star low mass X-ray binary and atoll source 4U 1636-53. These observations span almost three years, from April 1996 to February 1999. The…

We report results obtained from a systematic analysis of X-ray lags in a sample of black hole X-ray binaries, with the aim of assessing the presence of reverberation lags and studying their evolution during outburst. We used XMM-Newton and…

We report the cross-correlation function studies of a Neutron star low mass X-ray binary, a Z source GX 5-1 using SXT and LAXPC energy bands onboard AstroSat. For the first time, we report the lag between soft (0.8-2.0 keV, SXT) and hard…

We present a 5 month NICER X-ray monitoring campaign for two low luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) -- NGC 4594 and IC 1459 -- with complementary Swift and NuSTAR observations. Utilizing an absorbed power law and thermal source…

We have used the VLA to study radio variability among a sample of 18 low luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs), on time scales of a few hours to 10 days. The goal was to measure or limit the sizes of the LLAGN radio-emitting regions,…

Type-I X-ray bursts are rapid-brightening transient phenomena on the surfaces of accreting neutron stars (NSs). Some X-ray bursts, called {\it clocked bursters}, exhibit regular behavior with similar light curve profiles in their burst…

We have analyzed the new Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer Proportional Counter Array data of the atoll neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) system XB 1254-690. The colour-colour diagram shows that the source was in the high-intensity…

1RXS J180408.9--342058 is a low mass X-ray binary hosting a neutron star, which shows X-ray activity at very different mass-accretion regimes, from very faint to almost the Eddington luminosity. In this work, we present a comprehensive…

We report results from simultaneous RossiXTE and BeppoSAX observations of the neutron-star x-ray binary and type I X-ray burster 4U1728-34. The source was found in a high luminosity state, L_X near 0.1 L_Edd, and quasiperiodic oscillations…

LS 5039 is a high-mass gamma-ray binary hosting a compact object of unknown type. NuSTAR observed LS 5039 during its entire 3.9 day binary period. We performed a periodic signal search up to 1000 Hz which did not produce credible period…
