An equatorial outflow in the black hole optical dipper Swift J1357.2โˆ’0933

We present high-time resolution optical spectroscopy and imaging of the black hole transient Swift J1357.2-0933 during its 2017 outburst. The light curves show recurrent dips resembling those discovered during the 2011 outburst. The dip properties (e.g duration and depth) as well as the evolution of their recurrence time are similar โ€ฆ
