We report on a deep search for radio pulsations toward five unidentified ASCA X-ray sources coincident with EGRET gamma-ray sources. This search has led to the discovery of a young and energetic pulsar using data obtained with the new…

The recent discovery of gravitational waves from GW170817, associated with a short Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) at a distance of $40$Mpc, has demonstrated that short GRBs can occur locally and at a reasonable rate. Furthermore, gravitational waves…

We present and interpret several new X-ray features of the X-ray pulsar PSR J1838-0655. The X-ray data are obtained from the archival data of CHANDRA, RXTE}, and SUZAKU. We combine all these X-ray data and fit the spectra with different…

PSR B1259-63 is a gamma-ray binary system hosting a radio pulsar orbiting around a O9.5Ve star, LS 2883, with a period of ~3.4 years. The interaction of the pulsar wind with the LS 2883 outflow leads to unpulsed broad band emission in the…

We report the results of our multi-wavelength observations of GRS 1758-258 made in August 1997. The energy bands include radio, millimeter, X-ray, and gamma-ray. The observations enable us to obtain a complete spectrum of the source over an…

We use recent data obtained by three (OSSE, BATSE, and COMPTEL) of four instruments on board the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, to construct a model of Cyg X-1 which describes its emission in a broad energy range from soft X-rays to MeV…
