EWOCS-IV: 1Ms ACIS Chandra observation of the supergiant B[e] star Wd1-9
K. Anastasopoulou, M. G. Guarcello, J. J. Drake +21
Supergiant B[e] (sgB[e]) stars are exceptionally rare objects, with only a handful of confirmed examples in the Milky Way. The evolutionary pathways leading to the sgB[e] phase rem…
EWOCS-II: X-ray properties of the Wolf-Rayet stars in the young Galactic super star cluster Westerlund 1
K. Anastasopoulou, M. G. Guarcello, E. Flaccomio +20
We present the most comprehensive and deepest X-ray study to date of the properties of the richest Wolf-Rayet (WR) population observed in a single stellar cluster, Westerlund 1 (Wd…
CI Camelopardalis: The first sgB[e]-High Mass X-ray Binary Twenty Years on, a Supernova Imposter in our own Galaxy?
E. S. Bartlett, J. S. Clark, I. Negueruela
The Galactic supergiant B[e] star CI Camelopardalis (CI Cam) was the first sgB[e] star detected during an X-ray outburst. The star brightened to 2 Crab in the X-ray regime wi…
The mass of the black hole in LMC X-3
A. K. F. Val-Baker, A. J. Norton, I. Negueruela
New high resolution, optical spectroscopy of the high mass X-ray binary LMC X-3, shows the spectral type of the donor star changes with phase due to irradiation by the X-ray source…
On the formation and evolution of the first Be star in a black hole binary MWC 656
M. Grudzinska, K. Belczynski, J. Casares +8
We find that the formation of MWC 656 (the first Be binary containing a black hole) involves a common envelope phase and a supernova explosion. This result supports the idea that a…
High Mass X-ray Binaries in the NIR : Orbital solutions of two highly obscured systems
A. B. Mason, A. J. Norton, J. S. Clark +2
The maximum mass of a neutron star (NS) is poorly defined. Theoretical attempts to define this mass have thus far been unsuccessful. Observational results currently provide the onl…
