Discovery of a Candidate 2 keV Cyclotron Resonance Scattering Feature in the HLX NGC 3583 X-1

Kiran M. Jayasurya, Aman Upadhyay, Vikram Rana

We present a broadband X-ray study of the transient hyperluminous X-ray source (HLX), 2SXPS J111416.1+481833, in the galaxy NGC 3583, using archival XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, Chandra dat…

Synchrotron radiation from NGC 470 HLX1 - a hidden hyperluminous accreting neutron star?

Tanuman Ghosh, Shiv Sethi, Gulab Chand Dewangan +3

We present the first broadband spectral analysis of NGC 470 HLX1, a hyperluminous X-ray source that exhibits significant flux variability over different epochs. We investigate the…

A Study of Spectral Variability between flaring and non-flaring state in M74 X-1

Aman Upadhyay, Tanuman Ghosh, Vikram Rana

We conducted an extensive long-term spectral and timing study of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) M74 X-1, using data taken between 2001 and 2021 by Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ra…

Intriguing nature of AM Her type candidate CXOU J204734.8+300105

Rahul Sharma, Chetana Jain, Biswajit Paul +2

The detection and characterization of periodic X-ray signals are crucial for identifying new compact objects and studying the mechanisms powering their emission. We report on the t…

Energy dependence of Quasi-periodic oscillations in accreting X-ray pulsars

Hemanth Manikantan, Biswajit Paul, Rahul Sharma +2

We present the results from an investigation of the energy dependence of Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) exhibited by accreting X-ray pulsars using data from archival \textit{XM…

Investigating the orbital evolution of the eccentric HMXB GX 3012 using long-term X-ray lightcurves

Hemanth Manikantan, Manish Kumar, Biswajit Paul +1

We report the orbital decay rate of the high mass X-ray binary GX 3012 from an analysis of its long-term X-ray light curves and pulsed flux histories from CGRO/BATSE, RXTE/ASM,…

A broadband X-ray study of the dwarf nova SS Cyg during quiescence and outburst

Anirban Dutta, Vikram Rana, Koji Mukai +1

We present a broadband X-ray study (\,0.3-50 keV) of the dwarf nova SS Cyg highlighting the changes in the accretion during two phases, the quiescence and the outburst states…

Super-Eddington accretion onto a stellar mass ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4190 ULX1

Tanuman Ghosh, Vikram Rana

We present the results of high-quality XMM-NEWTON observations of a ULX in the galaxy NGC 4190. The detection of spectral cutoff in NGC 4190 ULX1 spectra rules out the interpretati…

Measuring the masses of Intermediate Polars with NuSTAR: V709 Cas, NY Lup and V1223 Sgr

A. W. Shaw, C. O. Heinke, K. Mukai +3

The X-ray spectra of intermediate polars can be modelled to give a direct measurement of white dwarf mass. Here we fit accretion column models to NuSTAR spectra of three intermedia…

Unambiguous Detection of Reflection in Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables: Joint NuSTAR-XMM-Newton Observations of Three Intermediate Polars

Koji Mukai, Vikram Rana, Federico Bernardini +1

In magnetic cataclysmic variables (CVs), X-ray emission regions are located close to the white dwarf surface, which is expected to reflect a significant fraction of intrinsic X-ray…
