Advances in Understanding High-Mass X-ray Binaries with INTEGRAL and Future Directions
Peter Kretschmar, Felix Fürst, Lara Sidoli +48
High mass X-ray binaries are among the brightest X-ray sources in the Milky Way, as well as in nearby Galaxies. Thanks to their highly variable emissions and complex phenomenology,…
The giant outburst of 4U 0115+634 in 2011 with Suzaku and RXTE
Matthias Bissinger né Kühnel, Ingo Kreykenbohm, Carlo Ferrigno +19
We present an analysis of X-ray spectra of the high mass X-ray binary 4U 0115+634 as observed with Suzaku and RXTE in 2011 July, during the fading phase of a giant X-ray outburst.…
The clumpy absorber in the high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1
V. Grinberg, N. Hell, I. El Mellah +13
Bright and eclipsing, the high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1 offers a unique opportunity to study accretion onto a neutron star from clumpy winds of O/B stars and to disentangle the c…
A precessing Be disk as a possible model for occultation events in GX 304-1
Matthias Kühnel, Richard E. Rothschild, Atsuo T. Okazaki +14
We report on the RXTE detection of a sudden increase in the absorption column density, , during the 2011 May outburst of GX 304-1. The increased up to…
The Goodness of Simultaneous Fits in ISIS
Matthias Kühnel, Sebastian Falkner, Christoph Grossberger +15
In a previous work, we introduced a tool for analyzing multiple datasets simultaneously, which has been implemented into ISIS. This tool was used to fit many spectra of X-ray binar…
The donor star of the X-ray pulsar X1908+075
Silvia Martínez-Núñez, Andreas Sander, Ángel Gímenez-García +4
High-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) consist of a massive donor star and a compact object. While several of those systems have been well studied in X-rays, little is known for most of…
An XMM-Newton view of FeKα in HMXBs
A. Giménez-García, J. M. Torrejón, W. Eikmann +4
We present a comprehensive analysis of the whole sample of available XMM-Newton observations of High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) until August, 2013, focusing on the FeKα emission l…
Discussing the physical meaning of the absorption feature at 2.1 keV in 4U 1538-52
J. J. Rodes-Roca, J. M. Torrejón, S. Martínez-Núñez +2
High resolution X-ray spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying the nature of the matter surrounding the neutron star in X-ray binaries and its interaction between the stellar w…
Infrared identification of 2XMM J191043.4+091629.4
J. J. Rodes Roca, J. M. Torrejón, S. Martínez-Núñez +2
Here we report the infrared identification of the X-ray source 2XMM J191043.4+091629.4, which was detected by XMM-Newton/EPIC in the vicinity of the Galactic supernova remnant W49B…
On the physical meaning of the 2.1 keV absorption feature in 4U 1538-52
J. J. Rodes Roca, J. M. Torrejón, S. Martínez-Núñez +1
The improvement of the capabilities of nowadays X-ray observatories, like Chandra or XMM-Newton, offers the possibility to detect both absorption and emission lines and to study th…
INTEGRAL long-term monitoring of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient XTE J1739-302
P. Blay, S. Martínez-Núñez, I. Negueruela +6
In the past few years, a new class of High Mass X-Ray Binaries (HMXRB) has been claimed to exist, the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXT). These are X-ray binary systems with a…
