We present the analysis of the first observations of the Cygnus region by the SPI spectrometer onboard the Integral Gamma Ray Observatory, encompassing ${\sim}$ 600 ks of data. Three sources namely Cyg X-1, Cyg X-3 and EXO 2030+375 were…
With a systematic timing investigation of the persistent X-ray binary pulsar Her X-1 based on a large number of Insight-HXMT observations between 2017 to 2019, we confirm the presence of X-ray millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (mHz…
We present a detailed spectral and timing analysis of Cygnus X-1 with multi-epoch observations, during $2016$ to $2019$, by SXT and LAXPC on-board AstroSat. We model the spectra in broad energy range of $0.5\!-\!70.0\,\rm{keV}$ to study the…
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…
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…
Cygnus X-1 is a persistent, high-mass black hole X-ray binary (BHXRB) which in the hard state shows many similar properties to transient BHXRBs, along with intriguing differences, such as the lack of quasi-periodic oscillations. Here, we…
We have re-analyzed archival RXTE data of the X-ray binary Cygnus X-3 with a view to investigate the timing properties of the source. As compared to previous studies, we use an extensive sample of observations that include all the…
The luminous X-ray binary and black-hole candidate LMC X-1 has been observed with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) to search for quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO), previously reported in its high state. The source was observed monthly…
We present results of RXTE observations of the X-ray source Cyg X-2 during 1996-1999. Its power density spectra in the 0.1-128-Hz band are fitted by a model that takes into account the power-law spectral behavior at frequencies below and…
We report the detection of a short-lived narrow quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) at ~88 mHz in an Insight-HXMT observation during the soft state of the persistent black hole high mass X-ray binary Cygnus X-1. This QPO is significantly…
We present a new, simple method for analysing gapped time-series which is particularly suited to probe the X-ray power spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN).The method is applied to a four-day observation of the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG…
We carried out an extensive RXTE campaign, in 1997 June, to study Circinus X-1 during the active portion of its 16.55-d intensity cycle. The observations spanned 10 days, including 56% coverage for 7 d, and allowed us to find time segments…
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…
X-ray pulses with millisecond-long FWHM have been detected in RXTE (Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer) observations of Cyg X-1. Their identity as short-timescale variations in the X-ray luminosity of the source, and not stochastic variability in…
It is known that the overall (mean) intensity of the low-mass X-ray binary Cyg X-2 varies on time scales from a day to months, independently from the variations on time scales of hours to a day by which the source moves between the…
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 present the first in a series of papers describing the X-ray properties of a sample of 18 Seyfert 1 galaxies, using data obtained by \asca. The imaging data reveal a number of serendipitous hard X-ray sources in some source fields, but…
We have used long-term AAVSO visual observations and Fourier and wavelet analysis to identify periods and study long-term amplitude variations in 44 red supergiants. Of these, 12 stars had data which were too sparse and/or had low amplitude…
We study the rapid variability in Cyg X-1 observed with the Rossi Timing Explorer (RXTE) on Jan 17 and 20 of 1997. The power spectra below 200 Hz can be characterized by two ``shot noise'' components and a peaked-noise centered at 0.2 Hz.…
We have searched the rising portion of type I X-ray bursts observed from the Rapid Burster with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer for the presence of periodicities. The 95 per cent confidence upper limit on the average root-mean-square…
