We present timing analysis of {emph{RXTE}}-PCA and {emph{INTEGRAL}}-ISGRI observations of X Per between 1998 and 2010. All pulse arrival times obtained from the {emph{RXTE}}-PCA observations are phase connected and a timing solution is obtained using
these arrival times. We update the long-term pulse frequency history of the source by measuring its pulse frequencies using {emph{RXTE}}-PCA and {emph{INTEGRAL}}-ISGRI data. From the {emph{RXTE}}-PCA data, the relation between frequency derivative and X-ray flux suggests accretion via the companions stellar wind. On the other hand, detection of the transient QPO feature peaking at $sim 0.2$ Hz suggests the existence of an accretion disc. We find that double break models fit the average power spectra well, which suggests that the source has at least two different accretion flow components dominating the overall flow. From the power spectrum of frequency derivatives, we measure a power law index of $sim -1$ which implies that on short time scales disc accretion dominates over noise, while on time scales longer than the viscous time scales the noise dominates. From pulse profiles, we find a correlation between pulse fraction and count rate of the source.
We analyze emph{RXTE} and emph{Swift} observations of SWIFT J1729.9$-$3437 after its outburst from 2010 July 20 to 2010 August 12. We calculate a spin frequency and spin frequency derivative of $1.8734(8) times 10^{-3}$ Hz and $6.42(6) times 10^{-12}
$ Hz/s respectively from the quadratic fit of pulse arrival times. The quadratic fit residuals fit well to a circular orbital model with a period of $15.3(2)$ days and a mass function of about $1.3M_{odot}$, but they can also be explained by a torque noise strength of $6.8 times 10^{-18}$ Hz sec$^{-2}$. Pulse profiles switches from double-peaked to single-peaked as the source flux continues to decrease. We find that the pulse shape generally shows no strong energy dependence. The hardness ratios reveal that the source becomes softer with decreasing flux. We construct a single spectrum from all the available RXTE and Swift observations. We find that adding an emph{Fe} line complex feature around 6.51 keV slightly improves the spectral fit and that this feature is more likely to originate from the source rather than the Galactic ridge. From the pulse phase spectral analysis, it is shown that that photon index and folding energy of the high energy cut-off vary with varying pulse phase.
We analyse emph{INTEGRAL} (between 2005 October and 2007 November) and emph{RXTE} (between 2007 June and 2011 March) observations of the accretion powered pulsar 4U 1907+09. From emph{INTEGRAL} IBIS-ISGRI and emph{RXTE}-PCA observations, we update pu
lse period history of the source. We construct power spectrum density of pulse frequencies and find that fluctuations in the pulse frequency derivatives are consistent with the random walk model with a noise strength of $1.27times10^{-21}$ Hz s$^{-2}$. From the X-ray spectral analysis of emph{RXTE}-PCA observations, we find that Hydrogen column density is variable over the binary orbit, tending to increase just after the periastron passage. We also show that the X-ray spectrum gets hardened with decreasing X-ray flux. We discuss pulse-to-pulse variability of the source near dipping ingress and egress. We find that the source more likely undergoes in dipping states after apastron until periastron when the accretion from clumpy wind might dominate so that occasional transitions to temporary propeller state might occur.
