    Lens parameters for Gaia18cbf - a long gravitational microlensing event in the Galactic plane
    Context. The timescale of a microlensing event scales as a square root of a lens mass. Therefore, long-lasting events are important candidates for massive...

    M31GC J004234+405709 (Bol 117) Observed by Chandra Is a New Transient X-Ray Source in M31: CXOM31 J004234.2+405709
    In ATel #1815 we erroneously associated the globular cluster M31GC J004234+405709 (Bol 117) with object s1-1 from Williams et al. (2006, ApJ 643, 356). Bol 117...

    Mass Ratio Determination from H α Lines in Black Hole X-Ray Transients
    We find that the mass ratio q in quiescent black hole (BH) X-ray transients is tightly correlated with the ratio of the double-peak separation (DP) to the full...
