Deep AO imaging of 18 black-hole and neutron-star binaries finds no confirmed tertiary stars, ruling out most main-sequence companions at separations beyond roughly 500–2000 au.
Chandra non-detection and heterogeneous RV data leave AzV 493's putative highly eccentric companion unconfirmed, with only L_X < 2.5e33 erg/s and conditional mass lower limits if RV variations are real.
Lazuli is proposed as a space observatory combining flagship sensitivity with response times one to two orders of magnitude faster than current large facilities to enable new time-domain and multi-messenger science.
SKA+VLBI will deliver microarcsecond astrometry, polarimetry, and rapid multi-frequency imaging to track jets and accretion in X-ray binaries on AU scales.
SKAO's low- and mid-frequency arrays plus VLBI mode are projected to provide the sensitivity and sub-au resolution needed for systematic radio studies of Galactic wind-driven binaries.
This perspective paper outlines expected advances in studying accretion and jets in compact object binaries using the SKA's improved sensitivity and resolution.
Review of high-precision astrometry applications to compact object astrophysics, emphasizing Gaia DR3 evidence for mass-dependent peculiar velocities and NS-BH similarities.
A decade of gravitational-wave data shows most merging stellar-mass black holes have small spins, with subdominant fast-spinning, misaligned, and hierarchical-merger populations.
