    The Spectrum of the Black Hole X-Ray Nova V404 Cygni in Quiescence as Measured by XMM-Newton
    We present XMM-Newton observations of the black hole X-ray nova V404 Cyg in quiescence. Its quiescent spectrum can be best fitted by a simple power law with...

    The ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 1313 X-2. Its optical counterpart and environment
    NGC 1313 X-2 is one of the brightest ultraluminous X-ray sources in the sky, at both X-ray and optical wavelengths; therefore, quite a few studies of available...

    Towards a dynamical mass of the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5408 X-1
    We obtained multi-epoch Very Large Telescope optical spectroscopic data in 2011 and 2012 on the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5408 X-1. We confirm that the He...

    Unveiling recurrent jets of the ULX Holmberg II X-1: evidence for a massive stellar-mass black hole?
    We report on the discovery of an apparent triple radio structure hidden inside the radio bubble of the ultraluminous X-ray source Holmberg II X-1. The...

    Very Large Telescope/X-shooter Spectroscopy of the Candidate Black Hole X-Ray Binary MAXI J1659-152 in Outburst
    We present the optical to near-infrared spectrum of MAXI J1659-152 during the onset of its 2010 X-ray outburst. The spectrum was obtained with X-shooter on the...
