The type I X-ray burster and dipper 4U1915-05 (also known as XB1916-053) was monitored by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer between February and October, 1996. The source was observed in various spectral states; the highest luminosity state…
Since the launch of INTEGRAL in late 2002 we have monitored the Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 with long exposures (~100 ks) pointings. All the observations have been conducted simultaneously with other instruments, in particular RXTE…
We examine the results of a coordinated HST-RXTE-CGRO campaign to study the microquasar GRO J1655-40 during its 1996-7 outburst, focusing on interpretation of the overall anti-correlation seen between optical and X-ray fluxes during the…
GRS 1915+105 has been well studied since its discovery, and is well-known for its complex light curve variability. Using the full currently available Insight-HXMT dataset from July 2017 to June 2023, we make a comprehensive spectral-timing…
GRS 1915+105 was observed by BeppoSAX for about 10 days in October 2000. For about 80% of the time, the source was in the variability class $\rho$, characterised by a series of recurrent bursts. We describe the results of the timing…
We discuss flaring variability of radio emission of microquasars, measured in monitoring programs with the RATAN-600 radio telescope. We carried out a multi-frequency (1-30 GHz) daily monitoring of the radio flux variability of the…
We have investigated the Quasi Periodic Oscillation (QPO) properties of the transient accreting X-ray pulsar XTE J1858+034 during the second outburst of this source in April-May 2004. We have used observations made with the Proportional…
We present the first results of simultaneous INTEGRAL and RXTE observations of the microquasar GRS 1915+105. We focus on the analysis of the unique highly variable observation and show that we might have observed a new class of variability.…
A new class of X-ray sources was clearly established with the discovery of highly relativistic radio jets from the galactic sources GRS 1915+105 and GRO J1655-40. Both of these objects have given us a broader view of black holes and the…
We present ongoing Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) monitoring observations of the 377.3 Hz accretion-powered pulsar, HETE J1900.1-2455 Activity continues in this system more than 3 years after discovery, at a mean luminosity of 4.4e36…
We report the discovery of twin kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the persistent X-ray flux of the new X-ray transient XTE J2123-058. We detected the QPOs in data taken with the proportional counter array on board the Rossi X-ray…
Frequency glitches have been observed so far only in radio pulsars and anomalous X-ray pulsars. Here we present evidence of a glitch in a neutron star accreting from a Be companion. The transient KS 1947+300 reappeared in 2000 October as a…
The X-ray nova GRS1739-278 flared up near the Galactic center in the spring of 1996. Here we report on the discovery of a ~5-Hz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) in RXTE/PCA observations of GRS1739-278. The QPO were only present when the…
This work presents an investigation of the stochastic X-ray variability from the 164 Hz accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J17062-6143, based on regular observations collected with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer between 2017…
We present a comprehensive analysis of Low Frequency Quasi-periodic Oscillation (LFQPO) associated time-lags in the persistently variable black hole binary GRS 1915+105 using 441 ks of \textit{AstroSat} observations from March 2016 to March…
We present the X-ray timing and spectral analysis of the new Galactic X-ray transient Swift J1658.2-4242 observed with LAXPC and SXT instruments onboard {\it Astrosat}. We detect prominent C-type quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of…
We present the results from RXTE/PCA observations of 4U 1608-52 in its island state on March 15, 18 and 22 of 1996. Three type I X-ray bursts were detected in one RXTE orbit on March 22. We observed QPO features peaking at 567-800 Hz on…
(Abridged) We report the results of monitoring observations of the Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 performed simultaneously with INTEGRAL and RXTE Ryle . We present the results of the whole \integral campaign, report the sources that are…
Emission of two short hard X-ray bursts on 2009 June 5 disclosed the existence of a new soft gamma-ray repeater, now catalogued as SGR 0418+5729. After a few days, X-ray pulsations at a period of 9.1 s were discovered in its persistent…
We present the analysis of the high energy emission of the Galactic black hole GRO J1655-40 at the beginning of its 2005 outburst. The data from 458 ks of INTEGRAL observations, spread over 4 weeks, are analyzed, along with the existing…
