We report the first detection of the Galactic Center massive black hole, Sgr A*, at 100 μm and 160 μm. Our measurements were obtained with PACS on board the...

Phase-resolved high-resolution optical spectroscopy has revealed narrow NIII and HeII emission lines from the soft X-ray transient Aquila X-1 during its 2004...

We present the results of a high spectral resolution (lambda / Delta lambda = 49 000) study of the circumstellar (CS) gas around the intermediate mass, pre-main...

We investigate the feasibility of detecting quiescent black hole X-ray binaries using optical photometric techniques. To test this, we employ a combination of r...

We present a study of the flickering activity in two nova-like systems, KR Aur and UU Aqr. We applied a statistical model of flickering simulations in accretion...

During a serendipitous observation of the BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras, a very long type I X-ray burst was observed from the low mass X-ray binary Serpens X-1...

We compare {{{H}}}α emission profiles of 12 dynamically confirmed black holes (BHs) and 2 neutron star X-ray transients (SXTs) in quiescence with those of a...

We report on an approximately twelve hour long X-ray flare from the low-mass X-ray binary KS 1731-260. The flare has a rise time of less than 13 min and...

We present optical monitoring of the black hole candidate XTE J1752-223 during its 2009-10 outburst and decay to quiescence. The optical light curve can be...
