We present the results of simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of PSR J1819-1458. Our 94-ks XMM-Newton observation of the high magnetic field 5*10^13 G pulsar reveals a blackbody spectrum (kT~130 eV) with a broad absorption feature, possibly composed of two lines at ~1.0 and ~1.3 keV. We performed a correlation analysis of the X-ray photons with radio pulses detected in 16.2 hours of simultaneous observations at 1-2 GHz with the Green Bank, Effelsberg, and Parkes telescopes, respectively. Both the detected X-ray photons and radio pulses appear to be randomly distributed in time. We find tentative evidence for a correlation between the detected radio pulses and X-ray photons on timescales of less than 10 pulsar spin periods, with the probability of this occurring by chance being 0.46%. This suggests that the physical process producing the radio pulses may also heat the polar-cap.

The Rotating RAdio Transient (RRAT) J1819-1458 exhibits ~3 ms bursts in the radio every ~3 min, implying that it is visible for only ~1 per day. Assuming that the optical light behaves in a similar manner, long exposures of the field would be relativ ely insensitive due to the accumulation of sky photons. A much better way of detecting optical emission from J1819-1458 would then be to observe with a high-speed optical camera simultaneously with radio observations, and co-add only those optical frames coincident with the dispersion-corrected radio bursts. We present the results of such a search, using simultaneous ULTRACAM and Lovell Telescope observations. We find no evidence for optical bursts in J1819-1458 at magnitudes brighter than i=19.3 (5-sigma limit). This is nearly 3 magnitudes fainter than the previous burst limit, which had no simultaneous radio observations.
We investigate the type III radio bursts and X-ray signatures of accelerated electrons in a well observed solar flare in order to find the spatial properties of the acceleration region. Combining simultaneous RHESSI hard X-ray flare data and radio da ta from Phoenix-2 and the Nanc{c}ay radioheliograph, the outward transport of flare accelerated electrons is analyzed. The observations show that the starting frequencies of type III bursts are anti-correlated with the HXR spectral index of solar flare accelerated electrons. We demonstrate both analytically and numerically that the type III burst starting location is dependent upon the accelerated electron spectral index and the spatial acceleration region size, but weakly dependent on the density of energetic electrons for relatively intense electron beams. Using this relationship and the observed anti-correlation, we estimate the height and vertical extent of the acceleration region, giving values of around 50 Mm and 10 Mm respectively. The inferred acceleration height and size suggests that electrons are accelerated well above the soft X-ray loop-top, which could be consistent with the electron acceleration between 40 Mm and 60 Mm above the flaring loop.

We analysed simultaneous X-ray/radio observations of Circinus X-1 collected respectively with RXTE and ATCA in 2000 October and 2002 December and identified radio flares close to phase 0.0 and 0.5 of the orbital period. To date, there is only circums tantial evidence for radio flares near phase 0.5. Moreover, in our data set, we clearly associated both a radio flare and X-ray spectral timing changes with phase 0.0. While for black hole X-ray binaries the picture of the association between the X-ray and the radio bands is quite well understood, for neutron star X-ray binaries a clear and complete picture is still missing.

We present a partial analysis of a multi-wavelength study of the X-ray binary Cir X-1, a system harboring the most relativistic outflow in our galaxy so far. The data were taken (almost) simultaneously in radio and X ray during a survey carried out i n October 2000 and December 2002. Cir X-1 was observed at the radio frequencies of 4.8 and 8.6 GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). In the X-ray spectral domain we used the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). We found strong evidence for flaring activity in radio not only at the periastron but also at the apoastron passages. A comparison of our data against different correlations between radio and X ray found in other neutron star systems shows that Cir X-1 does not seem to follow the general trend. However, the fact that Cir X-1 is an `exotic X-ray binary makes any interpretation more complicated.
We undertook coordinated campaigns with the Green Bank, Effelsberg, and Arecibo radio telescopes during Chandra X-ray Observatory and XMM-Newton observations of the repeating fast radio burst FRB 121102 to search for simultaneous radio and X-ray burs ts. We find 12 radio bursts from FRB 121102 during 70 ks total of X-ray observations. We detect no X-ray photons at the times of radio bursts from FRB 121102 and further detect no X-ray bursts above the measured background at any time. We place a 5$sigma$ upper limit of $3times10^{-11}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ on the 0.5--10 keV fluence for X-ray bursts at the time of radio bursts for durations $<700$ ms, which corresponds to a burst energy of $4times10^{45}$ erg at the measured distance of FRB 121102. We also place limits on the 0.5--10 keV fluence of $5times10^{-10}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ and $1times10^{-9}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ for bursts emitted at any time during the XMM-Newton and Chandra observations, respectively, assuming a typical X-ray burst duration of 5 ms. We analyze data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope Gamma-ray Burst Monitor and place a 5$sigma$ upper limit on the 10--100 keV fluence of $4times10^{-9}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ ($5times10^{47}$ erg at the distance of FRB 121102) for gamma-ray bursts at the time of radio bursts. We also present a deep search for a persistent X-ray source using all of the X-ray observations taken to date and place a 5$sigma$ upper limit on the 0.5--10 keV flux of $4times10^{-15}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ ($3times10^{41}$ erg~s$^{-1}$ at the distance of FRB 121102). We discuss these non-detections in the context of the host environment of FRB 121102 and of possible sources of fast radio bursts in general.
