We probe the properties of the transient X-ray pulsar MAXI J1409$-$619 through textit{RXTE} and textit{Swift} follow up observations of the outburst in 2010. We are able to phase connect the pulse arrival times for the 25 days episode during the outburst. We suggest that either an orbital model (with $P_{{rm{orb}}} simeq 14.7(4)$ days) or a noise process due to random torque fluctuations (with $S_r approx 1.3 times 10^{-18}$ Hz$^2$ s$^{-2}$ Hz$^{-1}$) is plausible to describe the residuals of the timing solution. The frequency derivatives indicate a positive torque-luminosity correlation, that implies a temporary accretion disc formation during the outburst. We also discover several quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in company with their harmonics whose centroid frequencies decrease as the source flux decays. The variation of pulsed fraction and spectral power law index of the source with X-ray flux is interpreted as the sign of transition from a critical to a sub-critical accretion regime at the critical luminosity within the range of $6times 10^{37}$ erg s$^{-1}$ to $1.2times 10^{38}$ ergs s$^{-1}$. Using pulse-phase-resolved spectroscopy, we show that the phases with higher flux tend to have lower photon indices, indicating that the polar regions produce spectrally harder emission.
The transient 500 s X-ray pulsar MAXI J1409-619 was discovered by the slit cameras aboard MAXI on October 17, 2010, and soon after accurately localized by Swift. We found that the source position was serendipitously observed in 2000 during BeppoSAX o
Phase-resolved spectroscopy of the newly discovered X-ray transient MAXI J0556-332 has revealed the presence of narrow emission lines in the Bowen region that most likely arise on the surface of the mass donor star in this low mass X-ray binary. A pe
We present analysis of RXTE--PCA observations of GX 1+4 between March 3, 2001 and January 31, 2003 together with the CGRO--BATSE X-ray flux and frequency derivative time series between 1991 and 1999. From the timing analysis of RXTE-PCA observations,
Wide-Field MAXI (WF-MAXI: Wide-Field Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image) is a proposed mission to detect and localize X-ray transients including electro-magnetic counterparts of gravitational-wave events such as gamma-ray bursts and supernovae etc., whic
The results of the broadband spectral and timing study of the recently discovered transient X-ray pulsar MAXI J0903-531 in a wide range of luminosities differing by a factor of ~30 are reported. The observed X-ray spectrum in both states can be descr
