The bright, erratic black hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105 has long been a target for studies of disk instabilities, radio/infrared jets, and accretion disk winds, with implications that often apply to sources that do not exhibit its exotic…

The `radio sky' is relatively unexplored for transient signals, although the potential of radio-transient searches is high, as demonstrated recently by the discovery of a previously unknown type of source which varies on timescales of…

The galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 has been in a continuous state of outburst since 1992, over 20 times longer than any other black hole X-ray transient. Assuming that the outburst is powered via accretion of an irradiated gaseous disc,…

We report the results of a systematic timing analysis of RXTE observations of GRS 1915+105 when the source was in its variability class theta, characterized by alternating soft and hard states on a time scale of a few hundred seconds. The…

The Galactic black hole GRS 1915+105 exhibits generic High-Frequency Quasi-periodic Oscillations (HFQPOs) at $\sim$ 67 Hz only during the radio-quiet 'softer' variability classes. We present the time-lag properties associated with HFQPOs in…

We report the discovery of fast (~ 100 sec) 2.2 micron flares from the microquasar GRS 1915+105, which are superimposed on longer (~ 30 min), brighter flares corresponding to episodes of jet formation. The number and strength of the…

Utilizing NICER observations, we present an analysis of the soft X-ray re-brightening event of GRS 1915+105 observed in 2021. During this event, we observed the emergence of a stable, long-lasting low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillation…

We present X-ray observations of the Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy PKS 0558-504 obtained with RXTE during a 1-year monitoring campaign. This source, which is one of the very few radio-loud NLS1 galaxies, shows strong X-ray flux variability…

We analysed 9 RXTE/PCA observations of GRS 1915+105 in the flaring state, when the hardness of the source spectrum was changing on the time scales from few seconds up to 1000 seconds. The quasi periodic oscillations (QPOs) with the…

We observed the galactic microquasar GRS1915+105 in the K ($2.2 \mu$m) band on October 16 and 17, 1995 UTC using the COB infrared (IR) imager on the Kitt Peak National Observatory 2.1-m telescope with a 0.2-arcsec/pixel plate scale and…

A search is made for periodic modulation in the X-ray flux from the low mass X-ray binary GX13+1 using Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer All Sky Monitor data collected over a period of almost seven years. From a filtered data set, which excludes…

We present a temporal analysis of a BeppoSAX observation of GRS 1915+105 performed on April 13, 1999 when the source was in the rho class, which is characterised by quasi-regular bursting activity. The aim of the present work is to confirm…

We have carried out a dedicated transient survey of 300 deg$^2$ of the SDSS Stripe 82 region using the Giant Meterwavelength Radio Telescope (GMRT) at 150 MHz. Our multi-epoch observations, together with the TGSS survey, allow us to probe…

Emission from Active Galactic Nuclei is known to vary strongly over time over a wide energy band, but the origin of the variability and especially of the inter-band correlations is still not well established. Here we present the results of…

We present results from the first two years of our fast-cadence 15 GHz gamma-ray blazar monitoring program, part of the F-GAMMA radio monitoring project. Our sample includes the 1158 blazars north of -20 degrees declination from the…

From the study of X-ray light curve and color-color diagram of the low mass X-ray binary GRS 1915+105, observed by on board proportional counter array (PCA) of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), we discover a new class of variability,…

We study in detail the GR models of the X-ray spectral variability for various geometries of the X-ray source and with various relativistic effects being the dominant cause of spectral variability. The predicted properties are compared with…

The thesis is mainly devoted to the study of spectral and timing characteristics of the X-ray emission from Galactic black hole candidates GRS 1915+105, GX 339-4, 4U 1630-47, XTE J1748-288, GRS 1739-278, KS/GRS 1730-312 and GRS 1737-31. The…

Short-term variability of X-ray spectra has been reported for several Active Galactic Nuclei. Significant X-ray flux variations are observed within time scales down to 10^4 -- 10^5 seconds. We discuss short variability time scales in the…
