    A black hole in the X-ray transient XTE J1859+226: the first confirmed with GTC
    We present the results of the analysis of the first black hole confirmed with GTC in the X-ray binary system XTE J1859+226. By combining optical photometry...

    A carbon dwarf wearing a Necklace: first proof of accretion in a post-common-envelope binary central star of a planetary nebula with jets
    The formation of collimated outflows or jets in planetary nebulae (PNe) is not well understood. There is no evidence for active accretion discs in PNe, making...

    A clean sightline to quiescence: multiwavelength observations of the high Galactic latitude black hole X-ray binary Swift J1357.2-0933
    We present coordinated multiwavelength observations of the high Galactic latitude (b = +50°) black hole X-ray binary (BHXB) Swift J1357.2-0933 in quiescence...

    A correlation between H α trough depth and inclination in quiescent X-ray transients: evidence for a low-mass black hole in GRO J0422+32
    We present a new method to derive binary inclinations in quiescent black hole (BH) X-ray transients (XRTs), based on the depth of the trough (T) from double...
