We report X-ray observations of the High Mass X-ray Binary (HMXB) pulsar 4U 1907+09. Spectral and Timing analysis of the source has been performed using NuSTAR observation. Timing analysis of the photon events revealed the coherent X-ray…
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are mainly powered by accretion in neutron stars or stellar-mass black holes. Accreting at rates exceeding the Eddington limit by factors of a few up to hundreds, radiation pressure is expected to inflate…
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are non-nuclear X-ray binary systems that exceed the Eddington luminosity for a 10 Msun black hole. The majority of these sources are thought to be stellar-mass compact objects accreting at super-Eddington…
We present the results of an analysis of data from XMM-Newton and CHANDRA observations of the high luminosity narrow-line quasar PG 1404+226. We confirm a strong soft X-ray excess in the X-ray spectrum and we find rapid variability (a…
We report timing and spectral studies of the high mass X-ray binary 4U 1700-37 using Insight-HXMT observations carried out in 2020 during its out-of-eclipse state. We found significant variations in flux on a time-scale of kilo-seconds,…
We describe observations of the 2003 outburst of the hard-spectrum X-ray transient 4U 1901+03 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The outburst was first detected in 2003 February by the All-Sky Monitor, and reached a peak 2.5-25 keV flux…
Type I X-ray bursts in the ultracompact X-ray binary 4U 1820$-$30 are powered by the unstable thermonuclear burning of hydrogen-deficient material. We report the detection of 15 type I X-ray bursts from 4U 1820$-$30 observed by NICER in…
Iron emission lines at 6.4-6.97 keV, identified with fluorescent Kalpha transitions, are among the strongest discrete features in the X-ray band. These are therefore one of the most powerful probes to infer the properties of the plasma in…
The mechanisms that drive disk winds are a window into the physical processes that underlie the disk. Stellar-mass black holes are an ideal setting in which to explore these mechanisms, in part because their outbursts span a broad range in…
Time-resolved eclipse spectroscopy of the nova-like variable UX UMa obtained with the HST/FOS on 1994 August and November is analyzed with eclipse mapping techniques to produce spatially resolved spectra of its accretion disc and gas stream…
The black hole candidate X-ray transient XTE J1817-330 was observed by the Swift satellite over 160 days of its 2006 outburst with the XRT and UVOT instruments. At the start of the observations, the XRT spectra show that the 0.6-10 keV…
Disk and wind signatures are seen in the soft state of Galactic black holes, while the jet is seen in the hard state. Here we study the disk-wind connection in the $\rho$ class of variability in GRS 1915+105 using a joint NuSTAR-Chandra…
Young stars surrounded by disks with very low mass accretion rates are likely in the final stages of inner disk evolution and therefore particularly interesting to study. We present ultraviolet (UV) observations of the ~5-9 Myr old stars…
We present a model for a super-Eddington accretion disc around a magnetized neutron star taking into account advection of heat and the mass loss by the wind. The model is semi-analytical and predicts radial profiles of all basic physical…
We report the results of two XMM-Newton observations of the ultra-compact low-mass X-ray binary 4U1850-087 located in the galactic globular cluster NGC6712. A broad emission feature at 0.7keV was detected in an earlier ASCA observation and…
X-ray observations have revealed that many microquasars and low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) exhibit narrow absorption features identified with resonant absorption from Fe XXV and Fe XXVI and other abundant ions. In many well studied systems…
We have analyzed X-ray data of SMC X-1 obtained with \textit{Suzaku}, and discovered a combination of an absorption line and an underlying broadened emission line centered at 6.4 keV in an observation performed on May 19, 2012. This…
Iron emission lines at 6.4-6.97 keV, identified with Kalpha radiative transitions, are among the strongest discrete features in the X-ray band. These are one of the most powerful probes to infer the properties of the plasma in the innermost…
The ultracompact low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1820-30 situated in the globular cluster NGC 6624 has an orbital period of only $\approx$11.4 min which likely implies a white dwarf companion. The observed X-ray bursts demonstrate a photospheric…
Disk accretion onto a neutron star possessing a weak surface magnetic field ($B \le 10^8$ G) provides interesting X-ray emission scenarios, and is relevant for understanding X-ray bursters and low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). The standard…
