    Swift J1357.2-0933: the faintest black hole?
    Swift J1357.2-0933 is a confirmed very faint black hole X-ray transient and has a short estimated orbital period of 2.8 h. We observed Swift J1357.2-0933 for...

    Swift observations of V404 Cyg during the 2015 outburst: X-ray outflows from super-Eddington accretion
    The black hole (BH) binary V404 Cyg entered the outburst phase in 2015 June after 26 yr of X-ray quiescence, and with its behaviour broke the outburst evolution...

    Swift/XRT, Chandra, and XMM-Newton observations of IGR J17091-3624 as it returns into quiescence
    IGR J17091-3624 is a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB), which received wide attention from the community thanks to its similarities with the bright black hole system...

    SWSextantis stars: the dominant population of cataclysmic variables with orbital periods between 3 and 4h
    We present time-series optical photometry of five new cataclysmic variables (CVs) identified by the Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS). The deep eclipses observed in...

    SY Cnc, a case for unstable mass transfer?
    Intermediate-resolution (0.5-1 Å) optical spectroscopy of the cataclysmic variable (CV) SY Cnc reveals the spectrum of the donor star. Our data enable us to...

    Synchrotron emission from the blazar PG 1553+113. An analysis of its flux and polarization variability
    In 2015 July 29-September 1, the satellite XMM-Newton pointed at the BL Lac object PG 1553+133 six times, collecting data for 218 h. During one of these epochs...

    Synthesis of infrared Stokes spectra in an evolving solar chromospheric jet
    Chromospheric jets are plausible agents of energy and mass transport in the solar chromosphere, although their driving mechanisms have not yet been elucidated...

    Synthetic galaxy clusters and observations based on Dark Energy Survey Year 3 Data
    We develop a novel data-driven method for generating synthetic optical observations of galaxy clusters. In cluster weak lensing, the interplay between analysis...

    Synthetic polarimetric spectra from stellar prominences
    Stellar prominences detected in rapidly rotating stars serve as probes of the magnetism in the corona of cool stars. We have synthesized the temporal evolution...
