We present V and I photometry for the Be/X-ray binary Swift J010745.0-722740 taken in 1997–2020. The data show recurring outbursts, with an amplitude up to 0.4 mag and an improved orbital period of 1180.0 ± 0.3 days. The light curve during outburs

In a sample of 150 hot stars in NGC 330, a SMC cluster containing a high fraction of Be stars, we searched for photometric variables using OGLE II data. At least one third of all stars are variable, with 38 being periodic. We found 27 pulsators (λ E

The long-term photometric behavior of seven Be–neutron star binaries in the Magellanic Clouds has been examined using MACHO and OGLE-II data. All show small periodic outbursts, which we associate with the periastron passage of the neutron star and

Far-ultraviolet spectra of LMC X-3 were taken covering photometric phases 0.47 to 0.74 in the 1.7-day orbital period of the black-hole binary (phase zero being superior conjunction of the X-ray source). The continuum is faint and flat, but appears to

We have analyzed over 6 years of MACHO optical photometry and a smaller amount of OGLE-II data for the X-ray/Be star source RX J0058.2-7231, in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The brightness is clearly modulated with a 60 day period. During this period,

We have analyzed nearly eight years of MACHO optical photometry of the supersoft X-ray binary RX J0513.9-6951 and derived a revised orbital period and ephemeris. Previously published velocities are reinterpreted using the new ephemeris. We show that

A weak X-ray source (CAL 86=RX J0546.3-6836) in the direction of the Large Magellanic Cloud has been identified with a faint, Galactic cataclysmic variable (CV). Photometry and spectroscopy obtained at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory reveal a

GX 339-4 has long been known as a black hole candidate because of its rapid variability and high/low X-ray states, which are similar to those of Cyg X-1. Although GX 339-4 is assumed to be a binary, the orbital period has not yet been convincingly de

Far-Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer spectra were obtained of the supersoft X-ray binary RX J0019.8+2156 (QR And) during 16 consecutive spacecraft orbits, covering the binary orbit (P = 15.85 hr) with about 0.2 phase overlap. The spectrum is domina

Simultaneous optical photometry and spectroscopy of QR Andromedae (RX J0019.8+2156) obtained in 1995 are reported. The V light curve shows a range of ~0.5 mag through the 15.85 hr orbital period, with shorter term (~1.8 hr) variations superposed. The
