Over the last 40 years, an astonishing range of astrophysics has become accessible through
pulsar astronomy. The body of literature on this rapidly growing research area is vast and …

We present a new edition of the catalogue of the low-mass X-ray binaries in the Galaxy and
the Magellanic Clouds. The catalogue contains source name (s), coordinates, finding chart …

Precision astrometry at microarcsecond accuracy has applications for a wide range of
astrophysical problems. This paper is a study of the science questions that can be …

It is often assumed that gravitational-wave (GW) events resulting from the merger of stellar-
mass black holes are unlikely to produce electromagnetic (EM) counterparts. We point out …

In recent years proper-motion measurements have been added to the set of observational
constraints on the current properties of Galactic X-ray binaries. We develop an analysis that …

ABSTRACT X-ray eclipse mapping is a promising modelling technique, capable of
constraining the mass and/or radius of neutron stars (NSs) or black holes (BHs) in eclipsing …

Motivated by recent IceCube observations we reexamine the idea that microquasars are
high energy neutrino emitters. By stretching to the maximum the parameters of the Fermi …

The hypervelocity stars recently found in the Galactic halo are expelled from the Galactic
center through interactions between binary stars and the central massive black hole or …

I review the astrophysical insights arising from high-precision astrometric observations of X-
ray binary systems, focussing primarily (but not exclusively) on recent results with very long …

Using new and archival radio data, we have measured the proper motion of the black hole X-
ray binary V404 Cyg to be 9.2±0.3 mas yr− 1. Combined with the systemic radial velocity …
