Cygnus X-1 contains a 21-solar mass black hole -- implications for massive star winds
James C. A. Miller-Jones, Arash Bahramian, Jerome A. Orosz +23
The evolution of massive stars is influenced by the mass lost to stellar winds over their lifetimes. These winds limit the masses of the stellar remnants (such as black holes) that…
IGR J17451--3022: constraints on the nature of the donor star
Andrzej A. Zdziarski, Janusz Ziolkowski, Enrico Bozzo +1
We constrain the binary parameters of the eclipsing accreting X-ray binary IGR J17451--3022 and the nature of its donor star. The donor mass, its radius, and the system inclination…
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…
