    Accretion Disc Winds in Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Stars
    Disc winds and jets are ubiquitous among accreting systems on all scales, from active galactic nuclei (AGN) down to young stellar objects. They represent a key...

    Gamma-ray bursts and their X-ray and optical afterglow
    Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful sources of electromagnetic radiation in the Universe. There are many open questions about their origin and their...

    Molecular Astrophysics
    We discuss the role and significance of molecules in the modern astrophysics. Molecular opacities govern the structure of model atmospheres of late-type stars...

    Strong gravity, dense matter -- probing compact objects
    The matter within a few Schwarzschild radii of accreting neutron stars and black holes is moving under the influence of a strong gravitational field, and, in...

    A Be-type star with a black hole companion
    Stellar-mass black holes have all been discovered through X-ray emission, which arises from the accretion of gas from their binary companions. Currently known...

    A black hole in Swift J1357.2-0933 obscured by an inner disc torus
    X-ray transients are binary systems composed by a 'normal' star which is transfering mass onto a compact object (either a black hole or a neutron star) through...
