The SMC X-ray transient XTE J0111.2-7317 : a Be/X-ray binary in a SNR?
arXiv:astro-ph/9912233 · doi:10.1046/j.1365-8711.2000.03299.x
Abstract
We report observations which confirm the identity of the optical/IR counterpart to the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer transient source XTE J0111.2-7317. The counterpart is suggested to be a B0-B2 star (luminosity class III--V) showing an IR excess and strong Balmer emission lines. The distance derived from reddening and systemic velocity measurements puts the source in the SMC. Unusually, the source exhibits an extended asymetric H alpha structure.
