PublicaciónTowards 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...

PublicaciónUltraCompCAT: A comprehensive catalogue of ultra-compact and short orbital period X-ray binaries
Ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) are a distinctive but elusive family of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) characterised by their tight orbits and degenerate...
