Optical Super-orbital Modulation of SMC X-1: Disk Precession and a Revised Pulsar Mass
Masafumi Niwano, Nobuyuki Kawai, Michael Fausnaugh
The observational determination of the lower limit of neutron star masses is crucial for the physics of core-collapse supernovae. In this light, SMC X-1 is an important object beca…
