Optical polarimetry shows intrinsic ~0.3% polarization from scattering in the accretion disk wind of Swift J1727.8-1613, with polarization angle offset from the jet indicating black hole spin-orbit misalignment.

Long-term Swift and MAXI observations reveal step-like shifts in Type I outburst orbital phases of GRO J1008-57 that coincide with Type II outbursts, interpreted as cycles of disk depletion and reconstruction.
Simulations show that iterative source removal and maximum likelihood decoding can recover point-source positions and fluxes from 1.5D coded-aperture data with 5-arcmin resolution in one axis and 5-degree resolution in the other.
