    The Optical Counterpart to XTE J1817-330.
    We report the counterpart to the X-ray transient and black hole candidate XTE J1817-330 (ATEL #714). Our observations consist of a series of 5s and 10s g'-band...

    The orbital period, black hole mass, and distance to the X-ray transient GRS 1716-249 ( =N Oph 93)
    We present evidence for a 0.278(8) d ( =6.7 h) orbital period in the X-ray transient GRS 1716-249 (=N Oph 93), based on a superhump modulation detected during...

    The quest for axions
    We introduce the strong CP problem and the existence of the Axion as a possible solution. We discuss the possibility that axions are the dark matter of the...

    The role of massive black hole recoil in galaxy evolution
    The coalescence of a massive black hole (MBH) binary leads to the gravitational-wave recoil of the system and its ejection from the galaxy core. We have carried...

    The Tarantula Massive Binary Monitoring. VI. Characterisation of hidden companions in 51 single-lined O-type binaries: A flat mass-ratio distribution and black-hole binary candidates
    Context. Massive binaries hosting a black hole (OB+BH) represent a critical phase in the production of BH mergers in the context of binary evolution. In spite...

    The VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars. NGC 2004#115: A triple system hosting a possible short period B+BH binary
    Context. NGC 2004#115 was classified as a single lined Be spectroscopic binary in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Its Hα morphology is reminiscent of the Galactic...

    The Warped Side of our Universe: From the Big Bang to Black Holes and Gravitational Waves
    There is a "Warped side" of our universe, consisting of objects and phenomena that are made solely or largely from warped spacetime. Examples are black holes...
