We present results of spectral and timing analysis of the fast X-ray transient XTE J1901+014 based on data of the RXTE and INTEGRAL observatories. With the INTEGRAL/ISGRI the source was detected at a significance level of 20$sigma$ with the persistent flux of $sim$2.7 mCrab in a 17-100 keV energy band in 2003-2004 (during long observations of the Sagittarius arm region). We added the RXTE/PCA (3-20 keV) data obtained in 1998 to the INTEGRAL/ISGRI data to build the broadband spectrum of the source in a quiescent state. It was found that the spectrum can be well approximated by a simple powerlaw with a photon index of $sim$2.15. From timing analysis we found short time scale aperiodic variations which can be connected with instabilities in the accretion flow.

On 2003 September 17 INTEGRAL discovered a bright transient source 3 degrees from the Galactic Center, IGR J17544-2619. The field containing the transient was observed by XMM-Newton on 2003 March 17 and September 11 and 17. A bright source, at a posi
tion consistent with the INTEGRAL location, was detected by the European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC) during both September observations with mean 0.5-10 keV unabsorbed luminosities of 1.1x10^35 and 5.7x10^35 erg s-1 for an (assumed) distance of 8 kpc. The source was not detected in 2003 March, with a 0.5-10 keV luminosity of < 3.8x10^32 erg s-1. The September 11 and 17 EPIC spectra can be represented by a power-law model with photon indices of 2.25+/-0.15 and 1.42+/-0.17, respectively. Thus, the 0.5-10 keV spectrum hardens with increasing intensity. The low-energy absorption during both September observations is comparable to the interstellar value. The X-ray lightcurves for both September observations show energy dependent flaring which may be modeled by changes in either low-energy absorption or power-law index.
In this paper we present our recent timing and spectral analysis of the X-ray pulsar 4U 1907+09. Our X-ray data consist of an extended set of RXTE & INTEGRAL observations that were analyzed before ({c{S}}ahiner et al. 2012). From the X-ray observatio
ns we extend the pulse period history of the source and obtain a revised orbital distribution of the X-ray dips. Using ROTSE IIId optical observations, we present the long term optical light curve of the source to have an understanding of long term optical behaviour.
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.
INTEGRAL and RXTE performed three simultaneous observations of the nearby radio galaxy Cen A in 2003 March, 2004 January, and 2004 February with the goals of investigating the geometry and emission processes via the spectral/temporal variability of t
he X-ray/low energy gamma ray flux, and intercalibration of the INTEGRAL instruments with respect to those on RXTE. When combined with earlier archival RXTE results, we find the power law continuum flux and the line-of-sight column depth varied independently, and the iron line flux was essentially unchanging. Taking X-ray spectral measurements from satellite missions since 1970 into account, we discover a variability in the column depth between 1.0x10^23 cm^-2 and 1.5x10^23 cm^-2, and suggest that variations in the edge of a warped accretion disk viewed nearly edge-on might be the cause.
We present the results of combined INTEGRAL and XMM-Newton observations of the supergiant fast X-ray transient (SFXT) IGR J17354$-$3255. Three XMM-Newton observations of lengths 33.4 ks, 32.5 ks and 21.9 ks were undertaken, the first an initial point
ing to identify the correct source in the field of view and the latter two performed around periastron. Simultaneous INTEGRAL observations across $sim66%$ of the orbital cycle were analysed but the source was neither detected by IBIS/ISGRI nor by JEM-X. The XMM-Newton light curves display a range of moderately bright X-ray activity but there are no particularly strong flares or outbursts in any of the three observations. We show that the spectral shape measured by XMM-Newton can be fitted by a consistent model throughout the observation, suggesting that the observed flux variations are driven by obscuration from a wind of varying density rather than changes in accretion mode. The simultaneous INTEGRAL data rule out simple extrapolation of the simple powerlaw model beyond the XMM-Newton energy range.
