    The disc-jet coupling in the neutron star X-ray binary Aquila X-1
    We study the accretion/ejection processes (i.e. disc/jet coupling) in the neutron star X-ray binary Aquila X-1 via a multiwavelength approach. We use in the...

    The donor of Aquila X-1 revealed by high-angular resolution near-infrared spectroscopy
    The low-mass X-ray binary Aquila X-1 is one of the most active neutron star X-ray transients. Despite its relatively bright quiescent optical counterpart, the...

    The evolution of rapid optical/X-ray timing correlations in the initial hard state of MAXI J1820+070
    We report on a multiepoch campaign of rapid optical/X-ray timing observations of the superbright 2018 outburst of MAXI J1820+070, a black hole low-mass X-ray...

    The evolution of the disc variability along the hard state of the black hole transient GX 339-4
    We report on the analysis of hard-state power spectral density function (PSD) of GX 339-4 down to the soft X-ray band, where the disc significantly contributes...

    The evolution of the UV/optical lag spectrum of NGC 7469 seen by the Liverpool Telescope
    We present the results regarding the analysis of an intensive monitoring of the Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) NGC 7469. We observed the source for 4 months with...

    The First Polarimetric Signatures of Infrared Jets in X-Ray Binaries
    We present near-infrared linear spectropolarimetry of a sample of persistent X-ray binaries, Sco X-1, Cyg X-2, and GRS 1915+105. The slopes of the spectra are...
