Clumpy Wind Studies and the Nondetection of a Cyclotron Line in OAO 1657–415
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Winds of massive stars are suspected to be inhomogeneous (or clumpy), which biases the measures of their mass-loss rates. In high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), the compact object can be used as an orbiting X-ray point source to probe the wind and ...

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).

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.

High Mass X-ray Binaries: The Donor Stars and their Compact Companions [PDF]
, 2008 This thesis presents new spectroscopic observations of the donor star in several High Mass X-ray Binary systems. The various types of X-ray Binary systems that exist are outlined and the methods and limitations of mass determination of the stellar components are discussed. The masses of the compact objects are determined for the systems SMC X-1 and LMC

MAD-Accretion Scenario in High-Mass X-Ray Binaries with Neutron Stars [PDF]
Astrophysical BulletinThe wind-fed accretion of gas with an intrinsic magnetic field onto neutron stars in high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) is discussed. The criteria for the implementation of quasi-spherical accretion in the system, the formation of a Keplerian accretion disk and a non-Keplerian magnetically arrested disk (MAD-accretion scenario) are formulated.

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

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.
