We use Gaia DR2 systemic proper motions of 45 satellite galaxies to constrain the mass of the Milky Way using the scale-free mass estimator of Watkins et al....

PublicationThe mass of the black hole in GS 2000+25 (=QZ Vul).
The authors report the first infrared light curve of GS 2000+25. By modelling the brightness variations as ellipsoidal modulations of the secondary star, the...

PublicationThe mass of the black hole in the low-inclination LMXB transient system GRO J0422+32 (=Nova Persei 1992)
We present the first infrared light curve of GRO J0422+32, and use it along with R-band data and published I- and Cousins R_c-band data to constrain the...

PublicationThe Mass of the Black-Hole in A:0620-00
We present a direct determination of the mass of the system components in the soft X-ray transient A0620 -00. Infrared photometry during 1990 allows us to...

PublicationThe mass of X-ray Nova Scorpii1994 (=GRO J1655-40)
We have obtained high- and intermediate-resolution optical spectra of the black hole candidate Nova Scorpii 1994 in 1998 May/June, when the source was in...

PublicationThe massive white dwarf in the recurrent nova TCrB
We have obtained I-, J-, H- and K-band light curves of the recurrent nova TCrB. We find that we can fit the J-band light curve only with a Roche lobe filling...

PublicationThe maximum stellar mass, star-cluster formation and composite stellar populations
We demonstrate that the mass of the most massive star in a cluster correlates non-trivially with the cluster mass. A simple algorithm, according to which a...

PublicationThe merger history of massive spheroids since z ˜ 1 is size-independent
Using a compilation of 379 massive (stellar mass M ≳ 1011 M⊙) spheroid-like galaxies from the near-infrared Palomar/DEEP-2 survey, we investigated, up to z ˜ 1...
