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 present timing and spectral analysis of emph{Swift}$-$XRT and emph{RXTE}$-$PCA observations of the transient Be/X-ray pulsar SWIFT J0513.4--6547 during its outburst in 2009 and its rebrightening in 2014. From 2009 observations, short term spin-up
We present results from a long-term monitoring campaign on the TeV binary LSI +61 303 with VERITAS at energies above 500 GeV, and in the 2-10 keV hard X-ray bands with RXTE and Swift, sampling nine 26.5 day orbital cycles between September 2006 and F
We present contemporaneous X-ray, ultraviolet, optical and near-infrared observations of the black hole binary system, Swift J1753.5-0127, acquired in 2012 October. The UV observations, obtained with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on the Hubble Spac
We use simultaneous Swift and RXTE observations of the black hole binary GX 339-4 to measure the inner radius of its accretion disk in the hard state down to 0.4% L_{Edd} via modeling of the thermal disk emission and the relativistically broadened ir
SWIFT J1626.6-5156 is an X-ray pulsar that was discovered in December 2005 during an X-ray outburst. Although the X-ray data suggest that the system is a high-mass X-ray binary, very little information exists on the nature of the optical counterpart.
