We study the relation between the X-ray luminosity of compact sources and the SFR of the host galaxy. Our sample includes 38 galaxies for which a uniform set of X-ray, infra-red and ultraviolet data from Chandra, Spitzer and GALEX has been collected. Our primary goals are (i) to obtain a more accurate calibration of the Lx-SFR relation and (ii) to understand the origin of the dispersion in the Lx-SFR relation observed in previous studies. Preliminary results of this project are reported below.

We verified the off-axis jet model of X-ray flashes (XRFs) and examined a discovery of off-axis orphan gamma-ray burst (GRBs) afterglows. The XRF sample was selected on the basis of the following three factors: (1) a constraint on the lower peak ener
gy of the prompt spectrum $E^{src}_{obs}$, (2) redshift measurements, and (3) multi-color observations of an earlier (or brightening) phase. XRF020903 was the only sample selected basis of these criteria. A complete optical multi-color afterglow light curve of XRF020903 obtained from archived data and photometric results in literature showed an achromatic brightening around 0.7 days. An off-axis jet model with a large observing angle (0.21 rad, which is twice the jet opening half-angle, $theta_{jet}$) can naturally describe the achromatic brightening and the prompt X-ray spectral properties. This result indicates the existence of off-axis orphan GRB afterglow light curves. Events with a larger viewing angle ($>sim2theta_{jet}$) could be discovered using an 8-m class telescope with wide field imagers such as Subaru Hyper-Suprime-Cam and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous explosions and can be detectable out to the edge of Universe. It has long been thought they can extend the Hubble diagram to very high redshifts. Several correlations between temporal or spectral properti
es and GRB luminosities have been proposed to make GRBs cosmological tools. However, those correlations cannot be properly standardized. In this paper, we select a long GRB sample with X-ray plateau phases produced by electromagnetic dipole emissions from central new-born magnetars. A tight correlation is found between the plateau luminosity and the end time of the plateau in X-ray afterglows out to the redshift $z=5.91$. We standardize these long GRBs X-ray light curves to a universal behavior by this correlation for the first time, with a luminosity dispersion of 0.5 dex. The derived distance-redshift relation of GRBs is in agreement with the standard $Lambda$CDM model both at low and high redshifts. The evidence of accelerating universe from this GRB sample is $3sigma$, which is the highest statistical significance from GRBs to date.
Globular clusters are among the first objects used to establish the distance scale of the Universe. In the 1970-ies it has been recognized that the differential magnitude distribution of old globular clusters is very similar in different galaxies pre
senting a peak at M_V ~ -7.5. This peak magnitude of the so-called Globular Cluster Luminosity Function has been then established as a secondary distance indicator. The intrinsic accuracy of the method has been estimated to be of the order of ~0.2 mag, competitive with other distance determination methods. Lately the study of the Globular Cluster Systems has been used more as a tool for galaxy formation and evolution, and less so for distance determinations. Nevertheless, the collection of homogeneous and large datasets with the ACS on board HST presented new insights on the usefulness of the Globular Cluster Luminosity Function as distance indicator. I discuss here recent results based on observational and theoretical studies, which show that this distance indicator depends on complex physics of the cluster formation and dynamical evolution, and thus can have dependencies on Hubble type, environment and dynamical history of the host galaxy. While the corrections are often relatively small, they can amount to important systematic differences that make the Globular Cluster Luminosity Function a less accurate distance indicator with respect to some other standard candles.
We present an analysis of the first observation of the iconic High Mass X-ray Binary so with the chandra High Energy Transmission Gratings during an X-ray eclipse. The goal of the observation was to study the structure/physical conditions in the clum
py stellar wind through high resolution spectroscopy. We find that: a) emission line brightness from K shell transitions, corresponding to near neutral species, directly correlates with continuum illumination. However, these lines do not greatly diminish during eclipse. This is readily explained if fluorescence K$alpha$ emission comes from the bulk of the wind. b) The highly ionised Fexxv and Fexxvi Ly$alpha$ diminish during eclipse. Thus, they must be produced in the vicinity of the compact object where $log xi >3$. c) to describe the emission line spectrum, the sum of two self consistent photo ionisation models with low ionisation ($log xisim -1$) and high ionisation ($log xisim 2.4$) is required. From their emission measures, the clump-to-interclump density ratio can be estimated to be $n_c/n_isim 300$. To fit the complex He-like ion{Si}{xiii}{} profile, the plasma requires a broadening with $v_{rm bulk}sim 840$ km s$^{-1}$. Reproducing the observed $rapprox f$ line fluxes requires the addition of a third collisionally ionised plasma. d) Emission lines widths appear unresolved at the textsc{hetg} gratings resolution with exception of Silicon. There is no clear radial segregation between (quasi)neutral and ionised species, consistent with cold wind clumps interspersed in a hot rarefied interclump medium.
We present quasi-simultaneous radio, (sub-)millimetre, and X-ray observations of the Galactic black hole X-ray binary GX 339-4, taken during its 2017--2018 outburst, where the source remained in the hard X-ray spectral state. During this outburst, GX
339-4 showed no atypical X-ray behaviour that may act as a indicator for an outburst remaining within the hard state. However, quasi-simultaneous radio and X-ray observations showed a flatter than expected coupling between the radio and X-ray luminosities (with a best fit relation of $L_{rm radio} propto L_{rm X}^{0.39 pm 0.06}$), when compared to successful outbursts from this system ($L_{rm radio} propto L_{rm X}^{0.62 pm 0.02}$). While our 2017--2018 outburst data only span a limited radio and X-ray luminosity range ($sim$1 order of magnitude in both, where more than 2-orders of magnitude in $L_{rm X}$ is desired), including data from other hard-only outbursts from GX 339-4 extends the luminosity range to $sim$1.2 and $sim$2.8 orders of magnitude, respectively, and also results in a flatter correlation (where $L_{rm radio} propto L_{rm X}^{0.46 pm 0.04}$). This result is suggestive that for GX 339-4 a flatter radio -- X-ray correlation, implying a more inefficient coupling between the jet and accretion flow, could act as an indicator for a hard-only outburst. However, further monitoring of both successful and hard-only outbursts over larger luminosity ranges with strictly simultaneous radio and X-ray observations is required from different, single sources, to explore if this applies generally to the population of black hole X-ray binaries, or even GX 339-4 at higher hard-state luminosities.
