We present the discovery of six new eclipsing AM CVn binaries, helium-accreting ultracompact systems in which a cool donor eclipses the accreting white dwarf. The systems were found in a GPU-accelerated Box Least Squares (BLS) search of Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) photometry and have orbital periods of 39.3 to 59.9...

Measuring rapid astrophysical phenomena requires many short exposures, which suffer from repeated read noise. A variety of recent technologies are achieving sub-electron read noise, which enable rapid time-domain studies of faint sources. These data can be analyzed with traditional methods, but the ability to resolve i...

The Rapid Burster (MXB 1730$-$335) is the only known neutron star to produce both Type I and Type II X-ray bursts, making it a key system for understanding accretion physics onto neutron stars. It resides in Liller 1, a dense, metal-rich stellar system whose crowded core and $\sim$11 magnitudes of visual extinction hav...
