Massive Stars and their Compact Remnants in High-mass X-ray Binaries
L. Kaper, A. van der Meer
In a high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) a massive star interacts with a neutron-star or black-hole companion in various ways. The gravitational interaction enables the measurement of fu…
Far Ultraviolet observations of the High Mass X-ray Binary 4U1700-37/HD153919
R. C. Iping, G. Sonneborn, L. Kaper +1
The high-mass X-ray binary 4U1700-37/HD153919 has been observed with FUSE to study the effect of the X-ray source on the stellar wind of the primary. Phase dependent changes in the…
Phase-dependent changes in the wind lines in the HMXRB's SMC X-1 and 4U1700-37
R. C. Iping, G. Sonneborn, L. Kaper +1
The High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXRB's) SMC X-1 and 4U1700-37 have been observed with FUSE to study the effect of the X-ray source on the stellar wind of the primary. In both system…
A search for close companions in Sco OB2
Thijs Kouwenhoven, Anthony Brown, Hans Zinnecker +3
Using adaptive optics we study the binary population in the nearby OB association Scorpius OB2. We present the first results of our near-infrared adaptive optics survey among 199 (…
The optical/near-IR spectral energy distribution of the GRB 000210 host galaxy
J. Gorosabel, L. Christensen, J. Hjorth +25
We report on UBVRIZJsHKs-band photometry of the dark GRB 000210 host galaxy. Fitting a grid of spectral templates to its Spectral Energy Distribution (SED), we derived a photometri…
The host galaxy of GRB010222: The strongest damped Lyman-alpha system known
I. Salamanca, L. Kaper, P. M. Vreeswijk +6
Analysis of the absorption lines in the afterglow spectrum of the gamma-ray burst GRB010222 indicates that its host galaxy (at a redshift of z=1.476) is the strongest damped Lyman-…
