    Swift and SALT observations of the multiple outbursts of MAXI J1957+032
    The new recurrent X-ray transient MAXI J1957+032 has had four X-ray outbursts within 16 months, all very briefly detected (lasting

    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...

    Swift J1357.2-0933: the faintest black hole?
    Swift J1357.2-0933 is a confirmed very faint black hole X-ray transient and has a short estimated orbital period of 2.8 h. We observed Swift J1357.2-0933 for...

    Swift observations of V404 Cyg during the 2015 outburst: X-ray outflows from super-Eddington accretion
    The black hole (BH) binary V404 Cyg entered the outburst phase in 2015 June after 26 yr of X-ray quiescence, and with its behaviour broke the outburst evolution...

    Swift/XRT, Chandra, and XMM-Newton observations of IGR J17091-3624 as it returns into quiescence
    IGR J17091-3624 is a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB), which received wide attention from the community thanks to its similarities with the bright black hole system...

    SWSextantis stars: the dominant population of cataclysmic variables with orbital periods between 3 and 4h
    We present time-series optical photometry of five new cataclysmic variables (CVs) identified by the Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS). The deep eclipses observed in...

    SY Cnc, a case for unstable mass transfer?
    Intermediate-resolution (0.5-1 Å) optical spectroscopy of the cataclysmic variable (CV) SY Cnc reveals the spectrum of the donor star. Our data enable us to...

    Synchrotron emission from the blazar PG 1553+113. An analysis of its flux and polarization variability
    In 2015 July 29-September 1, the satellite XMM-Newton pointed at the BL Lac object PG 1553+133 six times, collecting data for 218 h. During one of these epochs...
