    Post-common envelope binaries from SDSS - XVI. Long orbital period systems and the energy budget of common envelope evolution
    Virtually all close compact binary stars are formed through common envelope (CE) evolution. It is generally accepted that during this crucial evolutionary phase...

    Post-common-envelope binaries from SDSS - I. 101 white dwarf main-sequence binaries with multiple Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectroscopy
    We present a detailed analysis of 101 white dwarf main-sequence binaries (WDMS) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) for which multiple SDSS spectra are...

    Post-common-envelope binaries from SDSS - V. Four eclipsing white dwarf main-sequence binaries
    We identify SDSS011009.09+132616.1, SDSS030308.35+005444.1, SDSS143547.87+ 373338.5 and SDSS154846.00+405728.8 as four eclipsing white dwarf plus main-sequence...

    Potential cooling of an accretion-heated neutron star crust in the low-mass X-ray binary 1RXS J180408.9-342058
    We have monitored the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 1RXS J180408.9-342058 in quiescence after its ∼4.5 month outburst in 2015. The source has...

    Powerful outflows in the central parsecs of the low-luminosity active galactic nucleus NGC 1386
    Low-luminosity active galactic nuclei, i.e. L_{bol}/Ledd ∼ 10-6-10-3, constitute the bulk population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Powerful jets, common in...

    Pre-perihelion monitoring of interstellar comet 2I/Borisov
    The discovery of interstellar comet 2I/Borisov offered the unique opportunity to obtain a detailed analysis of an object coming from another planetary system...

    Precipitable water vapour forecasting: a tool for optimizing IR observations at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory
    We validate the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model for precipitable water vapour (PWV) forecasting as a fully operational tool for optimizing...

    Precision Ephemerides for Gravitational-wave Searches - III. Revised system parameters of Sco X-1
    Neutron stars (NSs) in low-mass X-ray binaries are considered promising candidate sources of continuous gravitational waves. These NSs are typically rotating...

    Precision Ephemerides for Gravitational-wave Searches - IV. Corrected and refined ephemeris for Scorpius X-1
    Low-mass X-ray binaries have long been theorized as potential sources of continuous gravitational-wave radiation, yet there is no observational evidence from...
