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…

On the mass distribution of neutron stars in HMXBs
A. van der Meer, L. Kaper, M. H. van Kerkwijk +1
We present the results of a monitoring campaign of three eclipsing high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs: SMC X-1, LMC X-4 and Cen X-3). High-resolution VLT/UVES spectra are used to meas…
