Atoll sources are accreting neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binaries. We present a spectral analysis of four persistent atoll sources (GX 3+1, 4U 1702$-$429, 4U 0614+091, and 4U 1746$-$371) observed for $\sim20$ ks each with NuSTAR to…

We present deep optical and X-ray follow-up observations of the bright unassociated Fermi-LAT gammaray source 1FGL J1311.7-3429. The source was already known as an unidentified EGRET source (3EG J1314-3431, EGR J1314-3417), hence its nature…

We report the results obtained with a XMM-Newton observation, performed in April 2023, of the poorly known Galactic Be X-ray binary pulsar 4U 0728-25. It was revealed at a flux level (not corrected for the absorption) $f_{\rm X}$(0.2-12…

We collect the data of twin kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) published before 2012 from 26 neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) sources, then we analyze the centroid frequency (\nu) distribution of twin kHz QPOs…

We investigate the variability of the QPO frequency in 4U1608-52 on very short time scales of a few seconds. We detect changes in frequency as fast as 0.5 Hz/s, which is more than ten times the fastest change reported for this object. Using…
