    Accretion and UV Variability in BP Tauri
    BP Tau is one of the few classical T Tauri stars for which the presence of a hot spot in the surface has been reported without ambiguity. The most likely source...

    An anticorrelation between X-ray luminosity and Hα equivalent width in X-ray binaries
    We report an anticorrelation between continuum luminosity and the equivalent width (EW) of the Hα emission line in X-ray binary systems. The effect is evident...

    An atlas of optical continuum and line emission from low-mass X-ray binaries
    We have obtained broad-band optical spectra of a sample of 15 low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in the range 4000-9000A and fitted them with combinations of...

    An ellipsoidal modulation in Nova Ophiuchi 1977 (=H1705-25=V2107 Oph)
    We report the detection of an orbital, ellipsoidal modulation at a period of 16.8h for V2107 Oph (Nova Ophiuchi 1977, H1705-25), from R-band photometry. From...

    An ellipsoidal modulation in X-ray Nova VELA 1993 (=GRS 1009-45)
    We present the first optical observations of the soft X-ray transient Nova Vela 1993, taken during quiescence in 1995 and 1996. From the R-band photometry with...

    An equatorial outflow in the black hole optical dipper Swift J1357.2-0933
    We present high time resolution optical spectroscopy and imaging of the black hole transient Swift J1357.2-0933 during its 2017 outburst. The light curves show...

    An evolved donor star in the long-period cataclysmic variable HS 0218+3229
    Context: We present time-resolved spectroscopy and photometry of HS 0218+3229, a new long-period cataclysmic variable discovered within the Hamburg Quasar...

    An Evolving Compact Jet in the Black Hole X-Ray Binary MAXI J1836–194
    We report striking changes in the broadband spectrum of the compact jet of the black hole transient MAXI J1836–194 over state transitions during its discovery...
