We report the discovery in the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer data of GRS 1915+105 of a second quasi-periodic oscillation at 34 Hz, simultaneous with that observed at 68 Hz in the same observation. The data corresponded to those observations…

XTE J1810-197 is the first transient Anomalous X-ray Pulsar ever discovered. Its highly variable X-ray flux allowed us to study the timing and spectral emission properties of a magnetar candidate over a flux range of about two orders of…

We report the detection of 15 X-ray bursts with RXTE and Swift observations of the peculiar X-ray binary Circinus X-1 during its May 2010 X-ray re-brightening. These are the first X-ray bursts observed from the source after the initial…

In this work, we present a $\sim$90 ks continuous monitoring of the Galactic micro-quasar GRS 1915+105 with AstroSat when the source undergoes a major transition from a non-variable, $\chi$ class (similar to radio-quiet $\chi$ class) to a…

We report on deep photometry and spectroscopy of the objects detected in the ROSAT HRI X-ray error box of the hard X-ray transient, GRS 1915+105. The probable counterpart of this source has been detected, with a magnitude of 23.4 in the I…

In 1996 during Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations of SGR 1900+14, the 89-s X-ray pulsar XTE J1906+09 was discovered. As a result of monitoring campaigns of SGR 1900+14, XTE J1906+09 was also monitored regularly in 1996…

We discuss the results of the radio studies of the X-ray binaries with relativistic jets. We carried out a multi-frequency (1-30 GHz) daily monitoring of the radio flux variability of the microquasars SS433, GRS1915+105, and Cyg X-3 with…

We compare the evolution of spectral shape with luminosity in GRS 1915+105 with that of 'normal' black holes. The pathological time variability of GRS 1915+105 does not indicate that it belongs in a different class to all the other objects.…

We present the spectral and timing evolution of the persistent black hole X-ray binary GRS 1758-258 based on almost 12 years of observations using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer Proportional Counter Array. While the source was…

We study the temporal and spectral evolution of the radio flares detected from the relativistic ejecta in the microquasar GRS 1915+105, and develop a model which suggests that these flares are due to synchrotron radiation of relativistic…

The precise origins of the millisecond radio pulsars, discovered in the early 1980s, remain uncertain until this day. They plausibly evolve from accreting low magnetic-field neutron stars in X-ray binary systems. If so, these stars should…
