A catalogue of low-mass X-ray binaries in the Galaxy: from the INTEGRAL to the Gaia era

Francis Fortin, Anish Kalsi, Federico García +1

Low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are high-energy sources that require multi-wavelength follow up campaigns to be fully characterized. New transients associated to LMXBs are regularl…

A catalogue of high-mass X-ray binaries in the Galaxy: from the INTEGRAL to the Gaia era

Francis Fortin, Federico Garcia, Adolfo Simaz-Bunzel +1

High-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) are a particular class of high-energy sources that require multi-wavelength observational efforts to be properly characterised. New identifications…

Impact of tides on non-coplanar orbits of progenitors of high-mass X-ray binaries

A. Simaz Bunzel, F. García, J. A. Combi +2

An important stage in the evolution of massive binaries is the formation of a compact object in the system. It is believed that in some cases a momentum kick is imparted to the new…

Interaction of a high-mass X-ray binary with the interstellar medium through stellar wind. The case of GX 301-2

J. Marchioro, S. Chaty, A. Coleiro +2

GX 301-2 is a high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) with strong stellar outflows. The evolution of these binaries can be closely related with the interstellar environment due to strong win…

Classification of 3 accreting binaries with VLT/X-Shooter spectra

Tristan Bouchet, Sylvain Chaty, Francis Fortin +1

Since its launch, the INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) satellite has discovered hundreds of X-ray sources, many of which lack proper classification. This…

Finding the birthplace of HMXBs in the Galaxy using Gaia EDR3: kinematical age determination through orbit integration

Francis Fortin, Federico Garcia, Sylvain Chaty

High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) are produced after the first supernova event in a massive binary. These objects are intrinsically young, and can suffer from a significant natal ki…

Constraints to neutron-star kicks in High-Mass X-ray Binaries with Gaia EDR3

Francis Fortin, Federico Garcia, Sylvain Chaty +2

All neutron star progenitors in neutron-star High-Mass X-ray Binaries (NS HMXBs) undergo a supernova event that may lead to a significant natal kick impacting the motion of the who…

Broad-band spectral energy distribution of the X-ray transient Swift J1745-26 from outburst to quiescence

Sylvain Chaty, Francis Fortin, Alicia Lopez-Oramas

We study the X-ray transient Swift J1745-26, using observations obtained from its outburst in September 2012, up to its decay towards quiescence in March 2013. We obtained optical…

Optical and infrared study of the obscured B[e] supergiant high-mass X-ray binary IGR J16318-4848

Francis Fortin, Sylvain Chaty, Andreas Sander

The supergiant High Mass X-ray Binary IGR J16318-4848 was the first source detected by the INTEGRAL satellite in 2003 and distinguishes itself by its high intrinsic absorption and…

Chandra-HETGS Characterization of an Outflowing Wind in the accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J17591-2342

Michael A. Nowak, Adamantia Paizis, Gaurava Kumar Jaisawal +5

IGR J17591-2342 is an accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar discovered in 2018 August in scans of the Galactic bulge and center by the INTEGRAL X-ray and gamma-ray observatory. It exh…

The dark side of supergiant High-Mass X-ray Binaries

Sylvain Chaty, Francis Fortin, Federico García +1

High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXB) have been revealed by a wealth of multi-wavelength observations, from X-ray to optical and infrared domain. After describing the 3 different kinds o…

Spectroscopic identification of INTEGRAL high-energy sources with VLT/ISAAC

Francis Fortin, Sylvain Chaty, Alexis Coleiro +2

The INTEGRAL satellite has been observing the gamma-ray sky for 15 years and has detected over 900 X-ray sources of various nature. However, more than 200 of these sources still la…
