Peculiar temporal and spectral features in highly obscured HMXB pulsar IGR J16320-4751 using XMM-Newton
Varun, Nirmal Iyer, Biswajit Paul
IGR J16320-4751 is a highly obscured HMXB source containing a very slow neutron star ( sec) orbiting its supergiant companion star with a period of 9 days.…
Evolution of timing and spectral characteristics of 4U 1901+03 during its 2019 outburst using the Swift and NuSTAR observatories
Aru Beri, Tinku, Nirmal K. Iyer +1
We report the results from a detailed timing and spectral study of transient X-ray pulsars, 4U 1901+03 during its 2019 outburst. We performed broadband spectroscopy in the 1-70 keV…
Observations of a GX 301-2 Apastron Flare with the X-Calibur Hard X-Ray Polarimeter Supported by NICER, the Swift XRT and BAT, and Fermi GBM
Q. Abarr, M. Baring, B. Beheshtipour +28
The accretion-powered X-ray pulsar GX 301-2 was observed with the balloon-borne X-Calibur hard X-ray polarimeter during late December 2018, with contiguous observations by the NICE…
AstroSat view of MAXI J1535-571: broadband spectro-temporal features
Sreehari H., Ravishankar B. T., Nirmal Iyer +4
We present the results of Target of Opportunity (ToO) observations made with AstroSat of the newly discovered black hole binary MAXI J1535-571. We detect prominent C-type Quasi-per…
LAXPC / AstroSat Study of ~ 1 and ~ 2 mHz Quasi-periodic Oscillations in the Be/X-ray Binary 4U 0115+63 During its 2015 Outburst
Jayashree Roy, P. C. Agrawal, N. K. Iyer +13
The Be X-ray Binary 4U 0115+63 was observed by Large Area X-ray Proportional Counter (LAXPC) instrument on AstroSat on 2015 October 24 during the peak of a giant Type II outburst.…
Constraining the mass of the black hole GX 339-4 using spectro-temporal analysis of multiple outbursts
Sreehari H., Nirmal Iyer, Radhika D. +2
We carried out spectro-temporal analysis of the archived data from multiple outbursts spanning over the last two decades from the black hole X-ray binary GX 339-4. In this paper, t…
Broad-band spectral evolution and temporal variability of IGR J17091-3624 during its 2016 outburst : SWIFT and NuSTAR results
Radhika D., H. Sreehari, A. Nandi +2
We report on the 2016 outburst of the transient Galactic Black Hole candidate IGR J17091-3624 based on the observation campaign carried out with SWIFT and NuSTAR. The outburst prof…
Accretion Flow Dynamics During 1999 Outburst of XTE J1859+226 - Modeling of Broadband Spectra and Constraining the Source Mass
A. Nandi, S. Mandal, H. Sreehari +6
We examine the dynamical behavior of accretion flow around XTE J1859+226 during the 1999 outburst by analyzing the entire outburst data ( 166 days) from RXTE Satellite. Towar…
Observational aspects of Outbursting Black Hole Sources - Evolution of Spectro-Temporal features and X-ray Variability
H. Sreehari, Anuj Nandi, D. Radhika +2
We report on our attempt to understand the outbursting profile of Galactic Black Hole (GBH) sources, keeping in mind the evolution of temporal and spectral features during the outb…
