Swift J1753.5โˆ’0127: The Black Hole Candidate with the Shortest Orbital Period

We present time-resolved photometry of the optical counterpart to the black hole candidate Swift J1753.5โ€“0127 which has remained in the low/hard X-ray state and bright at optical/IR wavelengths since its discovery in 2005. At the time of our observations Swift J1753.5โ€“0127 does not show a decay trend but remains stable โ€ฆ
