X-ray view of emission lines in optical spectra: Spectral analysis of the two low-mass X-ray binary systems Swift J1357.2-0933 and MAXI J1305-704

A. Anitra, C. Miceli, T. Di Salvo +6

We propose a novel approach for determining the orbital inclination of low-mass X-ray binary systems by modelling the H and H line profiles emitted by the accretion disc, wit…
