We have obtained optical and infrared photometry of the soft X-ray transient GRO J0422+32. From this photometry, we find a secondary star spectral type of M1, and an extinction of Av = 0.74 +/- 0.09. We present the first observed infrared…
We present results obtained from a series of 5~\AA\ resolution spectra of the X-ray Nova GRO~J0422+32 obtained in 1993~October, when the system was approximately 2 magnitudes above quiescence, with ${\rm R \sim 19}$. The data were obtained…
CCD photometry of the black hole candidate GRO~J0422+32 in quiescence, obtained at Haute-Provence from 1994 November to 1995 February, reveals a double-wave modulation at a period close to the value we found during outbursts and also close…
We present Keck K-band photometry and low-resolution H & K-band spectroscopy of the X-ray nova GRO J0422+32 obtained while the system was in the quiescent state. No clear ellipsoidal modulation is present in the light curve, which is…
We present HST/FOS ultraviolet and optical spectroscopy of the black hole X-ray transient GRO J0422+32 shortly before the system reached quiescence. We find that the accretion spectrum from 2500-9000A can be very well fit by a self-absorbed…
We present new photometric observations of the X-ray nova GROJ0422+32 (V518 Per) carried out in the I$_c$ band over 14 nights in 2020 -- 2023. We had to revise the orbital period of the system, the new value $P_{\rm orb}=5^{\rm h}04^{\rm…
We report photometric and spectroscopic observations of the black hole binary GRO J1655-40 in complete quiescence. In contrast to the 1995 photometry, the light curves from 1996 are almost completely dominated by ellipsoidal modulations…
OSSE observed the transient black hole candidate GRO J0422+32 (XN Per 92) between 1992 Aug 11 and 1992 Sep 17. High time resolution data were obtained in several energy bands over the 35-600 keV range with a sampling rate of 8 ms. Power…
We have recently discovered a supermassive binary black hole system with a projected separation between the two black holes of 7.3 parsecs in the radio galaxy 0402+379. This is the most compact supermassive binary black hole pair yet imaged…
We report optical spectroscopic observations of the Low Mass X-ray Binary GRO J1655-40 during outbursts in August-September 1994 and in June 1996. The spectra show emission and absorption lines from the accretion disk surrounding the X-ray…
We estimate the parameters of the donor of the accreting black-hole binary MAXI J1820+070. The measured values of the binary period, rotational and radial velocities and constraints on the orbital inclination imply the donor is a subgiant…
GRO J0422+32 is a member of the class of low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) sources, discovered during an outburst in 1992. Along the entire episode ($\sim 230$ days) a persistent power-law spectral component extending up to $\sim 1$ MeV was…
The peculiar QSO J0927+2943 shows multiple sets of emission lines in its optical spectrum. This signature has been interpreted as the relative motion between a black hole, either recoiling or bound in a binary system, and its host galaxy,…
Optical spectra were obtained of the optical counterpart of the high latitude soft X-ray transient XTE J1118+480 near its quiescent state with the new 6.5 m MMT and the 4.2 m WHT. The spectrum exhibits broad, double-peaked, emission lines…
We present the discovery of PSO J083.8371+11.8482, a weak emission line quasar with extreme star formation rate at $z=6.3401$. This quasar was selected from Pan-STARRS1, UHS, and unWISE photometric data. Gemini/GNIRS spectroscopy follow-up…
We have obtained the first detection of spectral absorption lines in one of the high-velocity stars in the vicinity of the Galaxy's central supermassive black hole. Both Brgamma (2.1661 micron) and He I (2.1126 micron) are seen in…
We present time-resolved Gran Telescopio Canarias optical spectroscopy and William Herschel Telescope $i$-band photometry of the X-ray transient SWIFT J1753.5-0127 in quiescence. The $i$-band light curve is dominated by flickering with an…
We present the characterization of CRTS J055255.7$-$004426 (=THOR 42), a young eclipsing binary comprising two pre-main sequence M dwarfs (combined spectral type M3.5). This nearby (103 pc), short-period (0.859 d) system was recently…
We present HST WFPC2/PC images and KPNO 4-m longslit spectroscopy of the QSO SDSS J153636.22+044127.0, which we advanced as a candidate binary supermassive black hole. The images reveal a close companion coincident with the radio source…
We present a multi-wavelength analysis, from the radio to the X-ray band, of the redshift $z=6.44$ VIK J2318$-$31 radio-loud (RL) quasi stellar object (QSO), one of the most distant currently known in this class. The work is based on newly…
