We investigate the ROSAT X-ray properties of V Sge, which has been proposed to be related to supersoft X-ray binaries. During optical bright states, V Sge is a faint hard X-ray source, while during optical faint states (V >=12 mag), V Sge…

Details of simultaneous photometric and spectroscopic observations of the optical counterpart of the `supersoft' X-ray source 1E 0035.4-7230 (SMC 13) are presented. Although the spectrum is dominated by emission lines of He II, the Balmer…

The nature of very faint X-ray transients (VFXTs) - transient X-ray sources that peak at luminosities $L_X\lesssim10^{36} {\rm erg s^{-1}}$ - is poorly understood. The faint and often short-lived outbursts make characterising VFXTs and…

Photometric observations of the supersoft X-ray source 1E 0035.4-7230 obtained during two years reveal that the very blue optical counterpart (V (maximum)=20.2, B-V=-0.15, U-B=-1.06) undergoes nearly sinusoidal variations with a period of…

The X-ray spectrum of the Galactic X-ray binary V4641 Sgr in outburst has been found to exhibit a remarkably broad emission feature above 4 keV, with inferred equivalent widths up to 2 keV. Such a feature was first detected during the X-ray…

Some of the luminous Compact Binary Supersoft X-Ray sources (CBSS) have shown indications of jets, also called satellites due to their appearance in the spectra. In V Sagittae (V Sge) stars, the galactic counterparts of the CBSS, such…

Classical novae occur on the surface of an accreting white dwarf in a binary system. After ejection of a fraction of the envelope and when the expanding shell becomes optically thin to X-rays, a bright source of supersoft X-rays arises,…

In a recent ROSAT observation, taken during its optical low state, we found that the VY Scl star V751 Cyg was a highly luminous source of soft X-rays. The ROSAT HRI count rate of V751 Cyg was a factor of 10-20 higher than upper limits…

FUSE spectra were obtained of the supersoft X-ray binary RX J0019.8+2156 (QR And) during 16 consecutive spacecraft orbits, covering the binary orbit (P=15.85 hr) with about 0.2 phase overlap. The spectrum is dominated by strong H2…

V617 Sgr is a V Sagittae star - a group of binaries thought to be the galactic counterparts of the Compact Binary Supersoft X-ray Sources - CBSS. To check this hypothesis, we measured the time derivative of its orbital period. Observed…

Very faint X-ray transients (VFXTs) are X-ray transients with peak X-ray luminosities ($L_X$) of $L_X\lesssim10^{36}$ erg/s, which are not well-understood. We carried out a survey of 16 square degrees of the Galactic Bulge with the Swift…

The discovery of very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emitting X-ray binaries has triggered an intense effort to better understand the particle acceleration, absorption, and emission mechanisms in compact binary systems, which provide variable…

It has been recently demonstrated that the recurring high/low states in the peculiar binary V Sge can be explained by considering the limit-cycle oscillation involving negative feedback by the wind on the mass-transfer from the secondary…

We analyze 18 sources that were found to show interesting properties of periodicity, very soft spectra and/or large long-term variability in X-rays in our project of classification of sources from the 2XMMi-DR3 catalog but were poorly…

Very Faint X-ray Transients (VFXTs) are a class of X-ray binary systems that exhibit occasional outbursts with peak X-ray luminosities (L_X< 1e36 erg s^-1) much lower than typical X-ray transients. On 22nd February 2024, during its daily…

To gain a better understanding of high-energy Galactic sources, we observed the Galactic X-ray binary and black hole candidate XTE J1720-318 in the optical and near-infrared, just after the onset of its X-ray outburst in January, 2003.…

We present spectroscopy and photometry of the LMC supersoft binary system RX~J0513.9-6951. We derive a refined spectroscopic period of P$=0.761\pm0.004$~d, which is consistent with the value obtained from long term photometric monitoring…

Very high-energy gamma-rays (VHE; E>100 GeV) have been detected from the direction of the Galactic Centre up to energies E>10 TeV. Up to now, the origin of this emission is unknown due to the limited positional accuracy of the observing…

A few Galactic objects are known to be variable sources of photons with energies above 100 GeV. These systems are mostly binaries, where variability can often be connected to the orbital period. Particle acceleration and gamma-ray…

We present high-speed long term photometric observations from 1992 to 1996 (UBVRI), as well as recently obtained (1997) spectrophotometric and high resolution spectroscopic studies of the bright galactic supersoft X-ray source…
