We report on the discovery of a new pulsating X-ray source during Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations of a low galactic latitude field centered at RA (J2000) = 19 hr 05 m 43 s and Dec (J2000) = +08 deg 58 arcmin 48 arcsec. Significant…

We report on observations of the sixth accretion-powered millisecond pulsar, IGR J00291+5934, with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. The source is a faint, recurrent X-ray transient initially identified by INTEGRAL. The 599 Hz (1.67 ms)…

We report on the detection of pulsed, broad-band, X-ray emission from the transient source RX J0117.6-7330. The pulse period of 22 seconds is detected by the ROSAT/PSPC instrument in a 1992 Sep 30 - Oct 2 observation and by the CGRO/BATSE…

The measurement of the spin frequency in accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars (AMXPs) is strongly affected by the presence of an unmodeled component in the pulse arrival times called 'timing noise'. We show that it is possible to attribute…

We have observed a number of minor radio flares in Cyg X-3 using the MERLIN array. Photometric observations show the system to be highly active with multiple flares on hourly timescales over the one month observing programme. Analysis of…

We fit X-ray reverberation models to Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer data from the X-ray binary Cygnus X-1 in its hard state to yield estimates for the black hole mass and the distance to the system. The rapid variability observed in the X-ray…

We discovered a periodicity at about 8.7s from the X--ray sources 4U0142+61, previously considered a possible black hole candidate on the basis of its ultrasoft spectrum. The pulsations are visible only in the 1--4 keV energy range, during…

We report the discovery of milli-hertz (mHz) quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) and QPO-modulated pulsations during large X-ray flares from the high-mass X-ray binary pulsar LMC X-4 using data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE).…

We report the results from our timing analysis of 15 RXTE observations of Cygnus X-1 throughout its 1996 spectral transitions. The entire period can be divided into 3 distinct phases: (1) transition from the hard to soft state, (2) soft…

Using data from the All-Sky Monitor aboard the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), we found that the 1.5-12 keV X-ray count rate of Cyg X-1 is, on time scales from 90 seconds to at least 10 days, strongly correlated with the spectral…

A new accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar, IGR J17511-3057, was discovered in outburst on 2009 September 12 during the INTEGRAL Galactic bulge monitoring programme. To study the evolution of the source X-ray flux and spectral properties…

We present a systematic coherent X-ray pulsation search in eleven low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). We select a relatively broad variety of LMXBs, including persistent and transient sources and spanning orbital periods between 0.3 and 17…

We report the discovery, with NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), of the first sub-millisecond oscillation found in a celestial X-ray source. The quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) come from Sco X-1 and have a frequency of…

During observations with RXTE we discovered two simultaneous kHz QPOs near 500 Hz and 860 Hz in the Z source Cyg X-2. In the X-ray color-color diagram and hardness-intensity diagram (HID) a clear Z track was traced out. A single kHz QPO…

We present a timing analysis of threeRossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations of the black hole binary Cygnus X-1 with the propagating mass accretion rate fluctuations model PROPFLUC. The model simultaneously predicts power spectra, time…

Weakly magnetic, millisecond spinning neutron stars attain their very fast rotation through a 1E8-1E9 yr long phase during which they undergo disk-accretion of matter from a low mass companion star. They can be detected as accretion-powered…

We studied the frequency resolved energy spectra of Cyg X--1 during the standard low (hard) spectral state using the data of the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. We found that the relative amplitude of the reflection features -- the iron…

We systematically investigate the variability of polarized X-rays on a timescale of a few seconds in the low/hard state of the black hole binary Cygnus X-1. The correlation between polarization degrees and angles with X-Ray intensity was…

Coherent nonlinear spectroscopies and imaging in the X-ray domain provide direct insight into the coupled motions of electrons and nuclei with resolution on the electronic length and time scale. The experimental realization of such…

We report the detection of 376.05 Hz (2.66 ms) coherent X-ray pulsations in NICER observations of a transient outburst of the low-mass X-ray binary IGR J17494-3030 in 2020 October/November. The system is an accreting millisecond X-ray…
