We present the results from an investigation of the energy dependence of Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) exhibited by accreting X-ray pulsars using data from archival \textit{XMM-Newton}, \textit{NuSTAR}, \textit{RXTE}, and…
We report the discovery with XMM-Newton of quasiperiodic variability in the 0.2 - 10 keV X-ray flux from the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5408 X-1. The average power spectrum of all EPIC-pn data reveals a strong 20 mHz QPO with an average…
We have discovered rapid Quasi Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) in RXTE/PCA measurements of the pulsating tail of the 27th December 2004 giant flare of SGR 1806-20. QPOs at about 92.5Hz are detected in a 50s interval starting 170s after the…
We investigate the connection between the X-ray and radio properties of the Galactic microquasar GRS1915+105, by analyzing the X-ray data observed with RXTE, during the presence of a huge radio flare (~450 mJy). The X-ray lightcurve shows…
Monitoring with the Ryle Telescope at 15 GHz of the Galactic X-ray transient source GRS 1915+105 has revealed a remarkable range of rapid and extended flares which appear to be related to the X-ray emission as recorded by the RXTE all-sky…
Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) discovered in soft-gamma repeaters (SGRs) are expected to help us to study the properties of matter in neutron stars. In earlier investigations, we identified the QPOs of frequencies below $\sim100$ Hz…
Strong, coherent, quasi-periodic brightness oscillations (QPOs) with frequencies ranging from about 300 Hz to 1200 Hz have been discovered with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer in the X-ray emission from some fifteen neutron stars in…
The Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 exhibits several episodes of steady X-ray emission characterized by a hard power-law spectrum and intense Quasi Periodic Oscillations. It is known that there are two types of such low-hard states, one…
Observations of the ultraviolet continuum of the X-ray binary system Her X-1/HZ Herculis with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope show quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) at frequencies of 8+/-2 and 43+/-2…
Using the Insight-HXMT observations of GRS 1915+105 when it exhibits low frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), we measure the evolution of the QPO frequency along with disk inner radius and mass accretion rate. We find a tight…
Millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (mHz QPOs) observed in neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries (NS LMXBs) are generally explained as marginally stable thermonuclear burning on the neutron star surface. We report the discovery of mHz…
In the Galactic microquasars with double peak kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), the ratio of the two frequencies is 3:2. This supports the suggestion that double peak kHz QPOs are due to a non-linear resonance between two modes of…
We present a timing analysis of two Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 during the heartbeat state. The phase-frequency-power maps show that the intermediate-frequency aperiodic X-ray variability weakens…

We report the discovery of kHz fluctuations, including quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) at ~330 Hz and ~760 Hz and a broadband kHz continuum in the power density spectrum of the high mass X-ray binary pulsar Centaurus X-3. These…
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 report the discovery of 8.5 sigma high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HFQPOs) at 66 Hz in the RXTE data of the black hole candidate IGR J17091-3624, a system whose X-ray properties are very similar to those of microquasar GRS…
We present an instability, occurring in the inner region of magnetized accretion disks, which seems to be a good candidate to explain the low-frequency QPO observed in many X-ray binaries. We then briefly show how, in the remarkable case of…
Accreting neutron stars exhibit pulsed X-rays and complex temporal variability across multi-wavelengths and different timescales. This variability could be driven by various physical processes including instability or inhomogeneous motions…
We demonstrate that the four high-frequency QPOs observed in GRS 1915+105 can be interpreted as the oscillation modes on disks which non-linearly and resonantly interact with a warp. The warp is assumed to be a low-frequency global pattern…
