We analyze the H2 emission observed in the HH46 Class I system as part of PROJECT-J (Protostellar Jets Cradle Tested with JWST), to investigate the origin and excitation of the warm molecular outflow. We used NIRSpec and MIRI spectral maps…

AstroSat observed transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701-462 for a total duration of $\sim$ 135 ks during its 2022 outburst. The source traced a complete `Z' shaped structure in the hardness intensity diagram (HID). The…

We show that the time delay between the optical and X-ray outbursts of the black-hole soft X-ray transient source GRO J1655-40, observed in April 1996, requires that the accretion flow in this object must consist of two components: a cold…

During its 2005 outburst, GRO J1655-40 was observed at high spectral resolution with the Chandra HETGS, revealing a spectrum rich with blueshifted absorption lines indicative of an accretion disk wind -- apparently too hot, too dense, and…

Analysis was made of the multiple XTE/PCA data on the promised black hole candidate with superluminal jet, GRO J1655-40, acquired during its 1996--1997 outburst. The X-ray spectra can be adequately described by the sum of an optically thick…

We present the results of the analysis of RXTE (Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer) observations of the new x-ray transient, SWIFT J1753.5-0127 during its outburst in July, 2005. The source was caught at the peak of the burst with a flux of…

The bright X-ray transient H 1743-322 was observed daily by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) during most of its 8-month outburst in 2003. We present a detailed spectral analysis and a supporting timing analysis of all of these data,…

In this work, we present a spectral and temporal analysis of {\it Swift}/XRT and {\it NuSTAR} observations of GRS 1716--249 during its recent 2016--2017 outburst. This low mass X-ray binary underwent an extraordinary outburst after a long…

We report on a campaign of X-ray and soft gamma-ray observations of the black hole candidate H 1743-322 (also named IGR J17464-3213), performed with the RXTE, INTEGRAL and Swift satellites. The source was observed during a short outburst…

While waiting for new gamma-ray burst detections, the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on board Swift covers each day ~50% of the sky in the hard X-ray band (``Survey data''). The large field of view (FOV), high sensitivity and good angular…

The Be X-ray binary GRO J2058+42 recently went through a Type-II outburst during March-April 2019 lasting for about 50 days. This outburst was detected with the operating all sky X-ray monitors like the Fermi-GBM, Swift-BAT and MAXI-GSC.…

GRO 1655-40, a well known black hole candidate, showed renewed X-ray activity in March 2005 after being dormant for almost eight years. It showed very prominent quasi-periodic oscillations. We analysed the data of two observations in this…

The well known black-hole X-ray binary transient XTE J1550-564 underwent an outburst during the spring of 2003 which was substantially underluminous in comparison to previous periods of peak activity in that source. In addition, our…

The black hole candidate MAXI J1535-571 is a recently discovered X-ray transient. We report on the monitoring observations of Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission during outburst. The source transits from the hard state to the intermediate state,…

We report here on multiwavelength observations of the two new soft X-ray transients (SXTs) XTE J1859+226 and XTE J1118+480, which we observed with HST/RXTE/UKIRT. For XTE J1118+480 we also used EUVE since it is located at a very high…

Several phenomenological aspects of low-luminosity neutron star transients, such as atolls, remain poorly understood. One such source, MAXI J1807+132, entered its latest outburst in July 2023. To thoroughly characterize this outburst, we…

We present the spectral and timing analysis of X-ray observations performed on the Galactic black hole transient GRS 1716-249 during the 2016-2017 outburst. The source was almost continuously observed with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory…

Using the RXTE PCA we discovered deep dips in the X-ray light curves of the black-hole candidates GRO J1655-40 and 4U 1630-47 during outburst. Similar kind of dips for GRO J1655-40 were found in 90s measurements of the RXTE ASM during the…

We have investigated the complex multiwavelength evolution of GRO J1655-40 during the rise of its 2005 outburst. We detected two hard X-ray flares, the first one during the transition from the soft state to the ultra-soft state, and the…

The BATSE earth-occultation database provides nine years of coverage for 75 $\gamma$-ray sources in the energy range 35-1700 keV. For transient sources, this long time-base dataset makes it possible to study the repeated outbursts from…
