Tidal Interaction in High Mass X-ray Binaries and Symbiotic Stars [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 This paper summarizes our recent results on tidal interaction in high mass X-ray binaries and symbiotic stars. We demonstrate that the giant in symbiotic stars with orbital periods <1200 d are co-rotating (synchronized). The symbiotics MWC 560 and CD-4314304 probably have high orbital eccentricity.

Ultra-luminous X-ray sources as neutron stars propelling and accreting at super-critical rates in high-mass X-ray binaries [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2018 Ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are off-nuclear point sources in nearby galaxies with luminosities well exceeding the Eddington limit for stellar-mass objects. It has been recognized after the discovery of pulsating ULXs (PULXs) that a fraction of these sources could be accreting neutron stars in high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) though the majority

Rapid multiperiodic variability in a Small Magellanic Cloud high-mass X-ray binary [PDF]
Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 359 (2005) 117-122, 2004 The positions of high-mass X-ray binaries are often known precisely enough to identify the optical component unambiguously, and a number of those stars are or have been monitored by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) and MACHO ...

High-Mass X-ray Binaries: progenitors of double compact objects [PDF]
Proc. IAU 14 (2018) 1-13, 2018 A summary is given of the present state of our knowledge of High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs), their formation and expected future evolution. Among the HMXB-systems that contain neutron stars, only those that have orbital periods upwards of one year will ...

Evidence for a magnetic neutron star in high mass X-ray binary 4U 2206+54 with INTEGRAL/IBIS observations [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2009 The hard X-ray source 4U 2206+54 is a peculiar high mass X-ray binary with a main-sequence donor star. Recent X-ray observations suggested that the compact object in 4U 2206+54 may be a neutron star. The X-ray emission comes from the accretion of stellar

A New Class of High-Mass X-Ray Binaries: Implications for Core Collapse and Neutron Star Recoil [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 We investigate an interesting new class of high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) with long orbital periods (Porb > 30 days) and low eccentricities (e ≲ 0.2).

MASSES OF NEUTRON STARS IN HIGH-MASS X-RAY BINARIES WITH OPTICAL ASTROMETRY [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 Determining the type of matter that is inside a neutron star (NS) has been a long-standing goal of astrophysics. Despite this, most of the NS equations of state (EOS) that predict maximum masses in the range 1.4-2.8 solar masses are still viable. Most of the precise NS mass measurements that have been made to date show values close to 1.4 solar masses,
