We present new 10.4m-GTC/OSIRIS spectroscopic observations of the black hole X-ray binary \mbox{XTE J1118+480} that confirm the orbital period decay at $\dot P=-1.90\pm0.57$ ms yr$^{-1}$. This corresponds to a period change of…

We discuss the optical light curves of two Be X-ray Binaries, IGR J06074+2205 and SAX J2103.5+4545 recovered from the ATLAS, ZTF and ASAS-SN databases. Both sources show long term optical variability of 620 and 420 days respectively, with…

An explanation of the recently discovered 7 s pulsations from the isolated neutron star RX J1856.5-3754 is presented. It is assumed that the real spin period of this source is $\approx1$ s, whereas the observed spin-modulation is caused by…

We carry out a dedicated study of 3XMM J181923.7$-$170616\ with an approximate pulsation period of 400~s using the XMM-Newton and Swift observations spanning across nine years. We have refined the period of the source to 407.904(7) s (at…

We have carried out high-precision timing observations of the eclipsing binary PSR J2051-0827 in the 3.3 years since its discovery. These data indicate that the orbital period is decreasing at a rate of dPb/dt = (-11+-1)X10^-12. If secular,…

We have identified an optical binary with orbital period P_b=4488s as the probable counterpart of the Fermi source 2FGL J1653.6-0159. Although pulsations have not yet been detected, the source properties are consistent with an evaporating…

A nearly simultaneous X-ray/optical (Chandra and VLT) observational campaign of RX J0806.3+1527 has been carried out during November 2001. These observations allowed us to phase the X-ray and optical light curves for the first time. We…

We present a scenario for the spin-up and evolution of binary millisecond pulsars. This can explain the observational properties of the recently discovered binary millisecond pulsar PSR J1740-5340, with orbital period 32.5 hrs, in the…

Recently, Norton et al. 2002, on the basis of multiwavelength photometry of 1WGA J1958.2+3232, argued that the -1 day alias of the strongest peak in the power spectrum is the true orbital period of the system, casting doubts on the period…

We present an X-ray timing analysis of the transient X-ray binary MXB 1658-298, using data obtained from the RXTE and XMM-Newton observatories. We have made 27 new mid eclipse time measurements from observations made during the two…

We report on the discovery of a new X-ray pulsator, Swift J201424.9+152930 (Sw J2014). Owing to its X-ray modulation at 491 s, it was discovered in a systematic search for coherent signals in the archival data of the Swift X-ray Telescope.…

We report on X-ray and optical observations of a ROSAT X-ray source, RX J1605.3+3249, selected from the all-sky survey on the basis of its spectral softness and lack of bright optical counterpart. The ROSAT PSPC energy distribution is well…

We examine the nature of RXJ0806.3+1527 and show that it is possible to reconcile the observed period decrease and X-ray luminosity with the transfer of mass between two white dwarfs provided that: either the system is (i) still in the…

Regular observations by the All Sky Monitor aboard the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite have yielded well-sampled light-curves with a time baseline of over ten years. We find that up to eight of the sixteen brightest persistent low…

We present the discovery and CCD observations of the first eclipsing binary with a Type II Cepheid component in our Galaxy. The pulsation and orbital periods are found to be 4.1523 and 51.38 days, respectively, i.e. this variable is a…

A search is made for periodic modulation in the X-ray flux from the low mass X-ray binary GX13+1 using Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer All Sky Monitor data collected over a period of almost seven years. From a filtered data set, which excludes…

We found evidence for the super-orbital modulation in the X-ray emission of LS I +61 303 from the longest monitoring date by the RXTE. The time evolution of the modulated fraction in the orbital light curves can be well fitted with a…

We report the detection of eclipses in GJ 3236, a bright (I = 11.6) very low mass binary system with an orbital period of 0.77 days. Analysis of light- and radial velocity curves of the system yielded component masses of 0.38 +/- 0.02 and…

XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of the transient 7.8 s pulsar XTE J1829-098 are used to characterize its pulse shape and spectrum, and to facilitate a search for an optical or infrared counterpart. In outburst, the absorbed, hard X-ray…

In April 1999 the transient low mass X-ray binary X1658-298 resumed its strong and persistent X-ray emission after a 21-year interval of quiescence. We present RXTE data obtained soon after the reappearance, including four eclipses with a…
