Photoionized absorbers of outflowing gas are commonly found in the X-ray spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN). While most of these absorbers are seldom significantly variable, some ionized obscurers have been increasingly found to…

The results of GRANAT/SIGMA hard X-ray observations of GRS 1758-258 in 1990-1998 are presented. The source lies at ~5\arcdeg from the Galactic Center and was within the SIGMA field of view during the GRANAT surveys of this region. The total…

IGR J16195-4945 is a hard X-ray source discovered by INTEGRAL during the Core Program observations performed in 2003. We analyzed the X-ray emission of this source exploiting the Swift-BAT survey data from December 2004 to March 2015, and…

A probable binary period has been detected in the optical counterpart to the X-ray source CXOU J005455.6-724510 = RX J0054.9-7245 = AXJ0054.8-7244 = SXP504 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. This source was detected by Chandra on 04 Jul 2002…

We report on an observational campaign performed with Swift/XRT on the wind-fed supergiant X-ray binary 4U 1909+07 to investigate the nature of the orbital and superorbital modulation of its X-ray emission. A total of 137 XRT observations…

The X-ray burster 4U1850-087, located in the Galactic globular cluster NGC6712, is an ultracompact binary (orbital period~21 min),likely harbouring a degenerate companion.The source has been observed at soft gamma-rays several times with…

We present the first detailed spectral and timing analysis of the High Mass X-ray Binary (HMXB) 4U 1909+07 with INTEGRAL and RXTE. 4U 1909+07 is detected in the ISGRI 20-40 keV energy band with an average countrate of 2.6 cps. The pulse…

The globular cluster ultraluminous X-ray source, RZ2109, is a complex and unique system which has been detected at X-ray, ultra-violet, and optical wavelengths. Based on almost 20 years of Chandra and XMM-Newton observations, the X-ray…

We report on the detailed study of the 2008 October outburst from the anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 1E 1547.0-5408 discovered through the Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) detection of SGR-like short X-ray bursts on 2008 October 3. The…

We present the results of seven years of K-band monitoring of the low-mass X-ray binary GRS 1915+105. Positive correlations between the infrared flux and the X-ray flux and X-ray hardness are demonstrated. Analysis of the frequency spectrum…

We analysed the IGR J16465-4507 Burst Alert Teelescope survey data collected during the first 54 months of the Swift mission. The source is in a crowded field and it is revealed through an ad hoc imaging analysis at a significance level of…

The Be/X-ray binary A0535+26 showed a giant outburst in December 2009 that reached ~5.14 Crab in the 15-50 keV range. Unfortunately, due to Sun constraints it could not be observed by most X-ray satellites. The outburst was preceded by four…

We present the first results of the observations of the X-ray pulsars LMC X-4, 4U0352+309 and EXO1722-363 performed with the INTEGRAL observatory. The LMC X-4 was investigated during the whole superorbital cycle ($\sim$30 days) and it was…

We report the discovery of a fairly bright transient during observations with the Wide Field Cameras on board the BeppoSAX satellite in September 1996. It was detected at a peak intensity of 0.1 Crab (2 to 10 keV) and lasted between 6 and…

A Be/X-ray binary system known as RX J0440.9+4431 (or LS V +44 17) is a potential member of the uncommon gamma-ray binary class. With an orbital period of 150 days, this system consists of a neutron star and a Be star companion. The MAXI…
