Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry

Gaia Collaboration, P. Panuzzo, T. Mazeh +412

Gravitational waves from black-hole merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected base…

Revisiting the archetypical wind accretor Vela X-1 in depth -- A case study of a well-known X-ray binary and the limits of our knowledge

Peter Kretschmar, Ileyk El Mellah, Silvia Martínez-Núñez +9

Context: Vela X-1 is one of the best studied X-ray binaries. Frequently though, specific values for its parameters have been used in subsequent studies without considering alternat…
