BeppoSAX observations of the accretion-powered X-ray pulsar SMC X-1

S. Naik, B. Paul

We present here results obtained from three BeppoSAX observations of the accretion-powered X-ray pulsar SMC X-1 carried out during the declining phases of its 40--60 days long supe…

State transition between high-soft and low-soft states observed in GRS 1915+105

S. Naik, A. R. Rao, Sandip K. Chakrabarti

We present the results of a detailed analysis of RXTE observations which show an unusual state transition between high-soft and low-soft states in the microquasar GRS 1915+105. The…

Different Types of X-ray Variability Observed in Micro-Quasar GRS 1915+105 with the IXAE

S. Naik, P. C. Agrawal, B. Paul +3

The galactic micro-quasar source GRS 1915+105 has been observed with the Indian X-ray Astronomy Experiment (IXAE) several times over a period extending from 1996 to 2000. The sourc…

Disk-jet connection in GRS 1915+105: X-ray soft dips as cause of radio flares

S. Naik, A. R. Rao

We have examined the radio emission characteristics of the micro-quasar GRS 1915+105 during its X-ray emission states as classified by Belloni et al. (2000). We find that the radio…

X-ray spectral components in the hard state of GRS 1915+105: origin of the 0.5 - 10 Hz QPO

A. R. Rao, S. Naik, S. V. Vadawale +1

We investigate the origin of the ubiquitous 0.5 - 10 Hz QPO in the Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105. Using the archival X-ray data from RXTE, we make a wide band X-ray spectral fi…
