The spin-down mechanism of accreting neutron stars is discussed with an application to one of the best studied X-ray pulsars GX 301-2. We show that the maximum possible spin-down torque applied to a neutron star from the accretion flow can…

The discovery of the youngest Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G1.9+0.3 has allowed a look at a stage of SNR evolution never before observed. We analyze the 50 ks Chandra observation with particular regard to spectral variations. The very…

Published X-ray emission properties for a sample of 50 supernova remnants (SNRs) in the LMC are used as input for SNR evolution modelling calculations. The forward shock emission is modelled to obtain the initial explosion energy, age, and…

The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) hosts a large number of high-mass X-ray binaries, and in particular of Be/X-ray Binaries (BeXRBs; neutron stars orbiting OBe-type stars), offering a unique laboratory to address the effect of metalicity. One…

G1.9+0.3 is the youngest known Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) and dominated by X-ray synchrotron emission. Synchrotron X-rays can be a useful tool to study the electron acceleration in young SNRs. The X-ray spectra of young SNRs give us…

Magnetars are highly magnetized neutron stars (NSs) whose evolution and radiation are governed by the decay and/or reconfiguration of their magnetic fields. The origin of magnetars remains an open question, with proposed progenitor…

Spin properties and spectral variations of high mass X-ray binary 4U 2206+54 are studied with long-term hard X-ray monitoring observations by INTEGRAL. A long-period X-ray pulsar of P_spin\sim 5558 s has been identified in 4U 2206+54. The…

We present an optical and X-ray study of four Be/X-ray binaries located in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). OGLE I-band data of up to 11 years of semi-continuous monitoring has been analysed for SMC X-2, SXP172 and SXP202B, providing both…

SGR 0526-66 was the first soft gamma-ray repeater (SGR) from which a giant flare was detected in March 1979, suggesting the existence of magnetars, i.e. neutron stars powered by the decay of their extremely strong magnetic field. Since…

The supernova remnant (SNR) B0532$-$67.5 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) was first diagnosed by its nonthermal radio emission and its SNR nature was confirmed by diffuse X-ray emission; however, no optical SNR shell is detected. The OB…

A rapidly rotating and highly magnetized neutron star (NS) could be formed from the explosive phenomena such as superluminous supernovae and gamma-ray bursts. This newborn NS can substantially influence the emission of these explosive…

(abridged) We analysed eight XMM-Newton observations toward the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), performed between October 2006 and June 2007, to investigate high mass X-ray binary systems. We found new X-ray binary pulsars with periods of 202…

We present Chandra X-ray Observatory imaging observations of the young Galactic supernova remnant G11.2-0.3. The image shows that the previously known young 65-ms X-ray pulsar is at position (J2000) RA 18h 11m 29.22s, DEC -19o 25' 27.''6,…

Symbiotic X-ray binaries (SyXBs) comprise a rare class of low-mass X-ray binaries. We study the Galactic SyXBs, which we consider as detached binaries composed of low-mass giants and wind-fed neutron star companions, by simulation of the…

Ultra-luminous X-ray sources are usually believed to be black holes with mass about $10^{2-3}M_{\odot}$. However, the recent discovery of NuSTAR J095551+6940.8 in M82 by Bachetti et al. shows that it holds the spin period $P=1.37\rm\,s$ and…

We have observed the Be/X-ray pulsar binary system X Per/4U 0352+30 on 61 occasions spanning an interval of 600 days with the PCA instrument on RXTE. Pulse timing analyses of the 837-s pulsations yield strong evidence for the presence of…

Many neutron stars (NSs) and runaway stars apparently come from the same regions on the sky. This suggests that they share the same birth places, namely associations and clusters of young massive stars. To identify NS birth places, we…

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) hosts a rich population of supernova remnants (SNRs), our knowledge of which is the most complete of any galaxy. However, there remain many candidate SNRs, identified through optical and radio observations…

We present the orbital solution for the newly discovered transient Be X-ray binary Swift J0243.6+6124 based on the data from gamma-ray burst monitor onboard Fermi obtained during the Oct 2017 outburst. We model the Doppler induced and…

X-ray observations unveiled various types of radio-silent Isolated Neutron Stars (INSs), phenomenologically very diverse, e.g. the Myr old X-ray Dim INS (XDINSs) and the kyr old magnetars. Although their phenomenology is much diverse, the…
