Detection of Chromatic Microlensing in Q 2237 + 0305 A
We present narrowband images of the gravitational lens system Q 2237 + 0305 made with the Nordic Optical Telescope in eight different filters covering the...
Detection of superhumps in XTE J1118+480 approaching quiescence
We present the results of our monitoring of the halo black hole soft X-ray transient (SXT) XTE J1118+480 during its decline to quiescence. The system has...
Detection of the irradiated donor in the LMXBs 4U 1636-536 (=V801 Ara) and 4U 1735-444 (=V926 Sco)
Phase-resolved VLT spectroscopy of the bursting low-mass X-ray binaries 4U 1636-536/V801 Ara and 4U 1735-444/V926 Sco is presented. Doppler images of the NIII...
Detection of the white dwarf and the secondary star in the new SU UMa dwarf nova HS 2219+1824
We report the discovery of a new, non-eclipsing SU UMa-type dwarf nova, HS 2219+1824. Photometry obtained in quiescence (V≈17.5) reveals a double-humped light...
Dips and eclipses in the X-ray binary Swift J1858.6-0814 observed with NICER
We present the discovery of eclipses in the X-ray light curves of the X-ray binary Swift J1858.6-0814. From these, we find an orbital period of $P=76841.3_{-1.4...
Disc-jet coupling in the 2009 outburst of the black hole candidate H1743-322
We present an intensive radio and X-ray monitoring campaign on the 2009 outburst of the Galactic black hole candidate X-ray binary H1743-322. With the high...
Discovery and Evolution of the New Black Hole Candidate Swift J1539.2-6227 during its 2008 Outburst
We report on the discovery by the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Explorer of the black hole (BH) candidate Swift J1539.2-6227 and the subsequent course of an outburst...
Discovery of Hα satellite emission in a low state of the SW Sextantis star BB Doradus
BB Dor was observed during its low state in 2009. Signatures of both binary components are revealed in the average optical spectrum; no signature of accretion...
Discovery of optical and infrared accretion disc wind signatures in the black hole candidate MAXI J1348-630
MAXI J1348-630 is a low mass X-ray binary discovered in 2019 during a bright outburst. During this event, the system experienced both hard and soft states...
