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 during outburst. We present 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) time-resolved spectroscopy during quiescence searching for donor star absorption features. The large contribution of the
