We present a comprehensive analysis of long-term periodic variability of Cyg X-1 using the method of multiharmonic analysis of variance (mhAoV) applied to available monitoring data since 1969, in X-rays from Vela 5B, Ariel 5, Ginga, CGRO…
We present timing analysis for a Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observation of Cygnus X-1 in its hard/low state. This was the first RXTE observation of Cyg X-1 taken after it transited back to this state from its soft/high state. RXTE's large…
We study the soft X-ray variability of Cygnus X-3. By combining data from the All-Sky Monitor and Proportional Counter Array instruments on the RXTE satellite with EXOSAT Medium Energy (ME) detector observations, we are able to analyse the…
We present the most extensive analysis of Fourier-based X-ray timing properties of the black hole binary Cygnus X-1 to date, based on 12 years of bi-weekly monitoring with RXTE from 1999 to 2011. Our aim is a comprehensive study of timing…
We summarize new RXTE observations to search for millisecond X-ray variability from the bright Galactic bulge source GX 3+1. During a short 2 ksec observation we did not detect kilohertz (kHz) quasiperiodic oscillations (QPO). We place an…
We present the results from the RXTE observations of Cygnus X-1 in its high state. In the energy range of 2-200 keV, the observed X-ray spectrum can be described by a model consisting of a soft blackbody component and a broken power-law…
We have carried out a timing analysis of Cyg X-1 and GRS 1915+105 using more than 5 years worth of data from the All Sky Monitor (ASM) on board RXTE. We have obtained for the first time power density spectra, colour-colour and…
We present a study of the long-term variability of Cyg X-1 using data from the RXTE/ASM and the RXTE/PCA during the time between the two soft states of 1996 and 2001/2002. This period has been characterized by many short ASM flaring…
We present the observation of Cyg X-1 in hard spectral state performed during the AGILE Science Verification Phase and Observing Cycle 1 in hard X-rays (with SuperAGILE) and gamma rays (with the GRID) and lasting for about 160 days with a…
Application of multi-resolution analysis adopting wavelets in order to investigate millisecond aperiodic X-ray variability of Cyg X-1 is presented. This relatively new approach in a time-series analysis allows us to study both the…
We present simultaneous multi-band radio and X-ray observations of the black hole X-ray binary Cygnus X-1, taken with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array and the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array. With these data, we detect clear flux…
We report the discovery with XMM-Newton of quasiperiodic variability in the 0.2 - 10 keV X-ray flux from the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5408 X-1. The average power spectrum of all EPIC-pn data reveals a strong 20 mHz QPO with an average…
We report high-energy results obtained with INTEGRAL and Rossi-XTE on two microquasars: the persistent high-mass system Cygnus X-1 and the transient low-mass binary SWIFT J1753.5-0127. INTEGRAL observed Cygnus X-1 from 2002 to 2004: the…
We have developed an algorithm that, starting from the observed properties of the X-ray spectrum and fast variability of an X-ray binary allows the production of synthetic data reproducing observables such as power density spectra and time…
We evaluate 0.03-20 Hz power spectra of the bright black hole binary Cyg X-1 obtained from non-deconvolved INTEGRAL-ISGRI event data. The ISGRI power spectra are compared to contemporary RXTE-PCA ones in the same hard X-ray energy band of…
We present Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) All-Sky Monitor observations of the X-ray binary Circinus X-1 which illustrate the variety of intensity profiles associated with the 16.55 d flaring cycle of the source. We also present eight…
Cyg X-1 exhibits irregular X-ray variability on all measured timescales. The usually applied shot noise models describe the typical short-term behavior of this source by superposition of randomly occuring shots with a distribution of shot…
We present preliminary results of an observation of Cygnus X-1 with INTEGRAL performed on June 7-11 2003. Both spectral and variability properties of the source indicate that Cygnus X-1 was in an intermediate state. As expected during state…
We investigate the variability of Cygnus X-1 in the context of shot moise models, and employ a peak detection algorithm to select individual shots. For a long observation of the low, hard state, the distribution of time intervals between…
We have used the Fourier cross spectra of Cyg X-1, as obtained with BATSE during a period of almost 2000 days, to estimate the phase (or time) lags between X-ray flux variations in the 20-50 keV and the 50-100 keV bands as a function of…
