Magnetically gated accretion in an accreting ‘non-magnetic’ white dwarf
A weak magnetic field regulates magnetically gated accretion of gas from a companion star onto the white dwarf in the binary system MV Lyrae, previously labelled as a ‘non-magnetic’ system.

An extremely luminous X-ray outburst at the birth of a supernova
Massive stars end their short lives in spectacular explosions—supernovae—that synthesize new elements and drive galaxy evolution. Historically, supernovae were discovered mainly through their ‘delayed’ optical...

Finding Faint Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in the Radio Band
We discuss the prospects for detecting faint intermediate-mass black holes, such as those predicted to exist in the cores of globular clusters and dwarf spheroidal galaxies. We briefly summarize the difficulti...

The CYDER Survey and the X-Ray Faint Universe
The new generation of X-ray Observatories (Chandra and XMM-Newton) has improved the flux limits to which faint X-ray sources can be detected, allowing to resolve most of the X-ray background into discrete sour...
