Optical and Infrared Study of the Obscured B[e] Supergiant High-mass X-Ray Binary IGR J16318–4848 [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 The supergiant high-mass X-ray binary IGR J16318–4848 was the first source detected by the INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory satellite in 2003 and distinguishes itself by its high intrinsic absorption and B[e] phenomenon.

Magnetic Braking with MESA Evolutionary Models in the Single Star and Low-mass X-Ray Binary Regimes [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Magnetic braking has a prominent role in driving the evolution of close low-mass binary systems and heavily influences the rotation rates of low-mass F- and later-type stars with convective envelopes. Several possible prescriptions that describe magnetic

Do High-spin High-mass X-Ray Binaries Contribute to the Population of Merging Binary Black Holes? [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 Gravitational-wave observations of binary black hole (BBH) systems point to black hole spin magnitudes being relatively low. These measurements appear in tension with high spin measurements for high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs).

Characteristics and evolution of Be-type high mass X-ray binaries as potential Ultraluminous X-ray Sources [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 Some ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) exhibit X-ray pulses, and their central sources are thought to be neutron stars. It has also been suggested that some are transient sources with Be-type donors. In this study, we use the mass accretion model of a

High-Mass X-ray binary: Classification, Formation, and Evolution
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2021 A high mass X-ray binary is a binary system consisting of an accreting neutron star or black hole and an early-type star with more than 10 solar masses.

Evolution of eccentric high-mass X-ray binaries. The case of GX 301-2 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 The formation of neutron stars is associated with powerful astrophysical transients such as supernovae. In many cases, asymmetries in the supernova explosions are thought to be responsible for the large observed velocities of neutron stars.

Towards a Unified View of Inhomogeneous Stellar Winds in Isolated Supergiant Stars and Supergiant High Mass X-Ray Binaries [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2017 Massive stars, at least $\sim$ 10 times more massive than the Sun, have two key properties that make them the main drivers of evolution of star clusters, galaxies, and the Universe as a whole. On the one hand, the outer layers of massive stars are so hot that they produce most of the ionizing ultraviolet radiation of galaxies; in fact, the first ...

Constraining the properties of dense neutron star cores: The case of the low-mass X-ray binary HETE J1900.1–2455 [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 Measuring the time evolution of the effective surface temperature of neutron stars can provide invaluable information on the properties of their dense cores.

The first mm detection of a neutron star high-mass X-ray binary
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2023 ABSTRACT Neutron stars accreting from OB supergiants are often divided between persistently and transiently accreting systems, called supergiant X-ray binaries (SgXBs) and supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXTs). This dichotomy in accretion behaviour is typically attributed to systematic differences in the massive stellar wind, binary ...

Are There Magnetars in High-mass X-Ray Binaries? [PDF]
Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2021 Magnetars form a special population of neutron stars with strong magnetic fields and long spin periods. About 30 magnetars and magnetar candidates known currently are probably isolated, but the possibility that magnetars are in binaries has not been ...
