We present K band photometry of the region including the radio error box of the soft X-ray transient 4U 1630-47 during its 1998 outburst. We detect a variable source at K=16.1 mag located inside the radio error circle which we identify as…

The black hole candidate (BHC) X-ray transient 4U 1630-47 continuously produced strong X-ray emission for over 2 years during 2002-2004. We use observations made with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) to study the source throughout the…

We present data from different epochs in 1978, 1987-1991 and 1996 from the black-hole candidate 4U1630-47. For the first time we present almost complete coverage of the outbursts which started in 1987, 1988 and 1996. We find that the…

We have re-analyzed two EXOSAT Medium Energy observations during part of the 1984 X-ray outburst of the black-hole candidate transient system 4U 1630-47. One observation (May 10) shows fast timing properties (on timescales shorter than ~250…

We present an analysis of the RXTE observations of 4U 1630-47 during its outburst of 1998. The light curve and the spectral evolution of the outburst were distinctly different from the outbursts of the same source in 1996 and in 1999.…

4U 1630-472 is a recurrent X-ray transient classified as a black-hole candidate from its spectral and timing properties. One of the peculiarities of this source is the presence of regular outbursts with a recurrence period between 600 and…

We report on the X-ray spectral and timing behavior of the recurrent X-ray transient 4U 1630-47 for 51 RXTE observations made during the decay of its 1998 outburst. The observations began when the source was still relatively bright, and,…

Multiwavelength observations of Galactic black hole (GBH) transients during the state transitions and in the low/hard state may provide detailed information on the accretion structure of these systems. 4U1543-47 is a GBH transient that was…

We present the X-ray spectral and timing analysis of the transient black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47, observed with the AstroSat, Chandra and MAXI space missions during its soft X-ray outburst in 2016. The outburst, from the rising phase…

We report on results from a 2003 February INTEGRAL observation of the black hole candidate (BHC) 4U 1630-47 and the high energy sources in the Norma Region of the Galaxy and on RXTE and radio observations of 4U 1630-47. To date, there have…

Here we report on Swift and Suzaku observations near the end of an outburst from the black hole transient 4U 1630-47 and Chandra observations when the source was in quiescence. 4U 1630-47 made a transition from a soft state to the hard…

We report results of five pointed BeppoSAX observations of the black hole candidate 4U 1630-47 during part of its 1998 outburst when the 2-10 keV source luminosity decreased from 2.1x10^38 erg/s (for an assumed distance of 10 kpc) by a…

We report on the evolution of the timing of 4U1630-47 during its 1998 outburst using data obtained with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The count rate and position in hardness-intensity, color-color diagrams and simple spectral fits…

We present an X-ray spectral and timing analysis of 4U 1543-47 during its 2002 outburst based on 49 pointed observations obtained using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The outburst reached a peak intensity of 4.2 Crab in the 2-12…

An x-ray dip was observed during a 1996 Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer observation of the recurrent x-ray transient 4U 1630-47. During the dip, the 2-60 keV x-ray flux drops by a factor of about three, and, at the lowest point of the dip, the…

We have obtained simultaneous optical and near infrared observations of 4U 1543-47 during its 2002 outburst. The most striking feature of the outburst light curve is the secondary maximum which appears after the object transitions into the…

Correlated behaviours between the radio emission and the X-ray emission in Galactic black hole X-ray binaries (BH XRBs) in the X-ray hard state are crucial to the understanding of disc-jet coupling of accreting black holes. The BH transient…

The Galactic black hole candidate (BHC) 4U~1630-472 has gone through several outbursts (13 to be particular) in the last two and a half decades starting from the RXTE era till date. Like the outbursts of other transient BHCs, the outbursts…

We present a detailed analysis of the observations with the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope of the black hole X-ray transient 4U~1543-47 during its outburst in 2021. We find a clear state transition during the outburst decay of the source.…

We present the results from RXTE observations of a new X-ray transient, GRS 1737-31, near the Galactic center during an outburst. Over a span of two weeks, the source was seen to vary significantly on time scales down to a few seconds. The…
