SS433 is the prototype microquasar in the Galaxy and may even be analogous to the ULX sources if the jets' kinetic energy is taken into account. However, in...
Stellar mass fraction and quasar accretion disk size in SDSS J1004+4112 from photometric follow-up
The gravitational lens SDSS J1004+4112 was the first discovered system where a background quasar is lensed by a galaxy cluster instead of a single galaxy. We...
Strong winds from massive stars are a topic of interest to a wide range of astrophysical fields. In High-Mass X-ray Binaries the presence of an accreting...
Structure of the Accretion Disk in the Lensed Quasar Q2237+0305 from Multi-epoch and Multi-wavelength Narrowband Photometry
We present estimates for the size and the logarithmic slope of the disk temperature profile of the lensed quasar Q2237+0305, independent of the component...
Studying the accretion geometry of EXO 2030+375 at luminosities close to the propeller regime
The Be X-ray binary EXO 2030+375was in an extended low-luminosity state during most of 2016. We observed this state with NuSTARand Swift, supported by...
Sub-second infrared variability from the archetypal accreting neutron star 4U 1728-34
We report on the first simultaneous high-time resolution X-ray and infrared (IR) observations of a neutron star low mass X-ray binary in its hard state. We...
Suzaku spectroscopy of the neutron star transient 4U 1608-52 during its outburst decay.
We test the proposed three-component spectral model for neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries using broad-band X-ray data. We have analysed four X-ray spectra (0...
Swift J1357.2-0933: a massive black hole in the Galactic thick disc
Swift J1357.2-0933 is one of the shortest orbital period black hole X-ray transients. It exhibited deep optical dips together with an extremely broad H α line...
