VLT spectroscopy of the black hole candidate Swift J1357.2-0933 in quiescence

We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy of the counterpart to the high-inclination black hole low-mass X-ray binary Swift J1357.2−0933 in quiescence. Absorption features from the mass donor star were not detected. Instead the spectra display prominent broad double-peaked H α emission and weake...
