Wind Roche lobe overflow in high mass X-ray binaries : a possible mass transfer mechanism for Ultraluminous X-ray sources
I. El Mellah, J. O. Sundqvist, R. Keppens
Ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULX) have so high X-ray luminosities that they were long thought to be accreting intermediate mass black holes. Yet, some ULX have been shown to displ…

Formation of wind-captured discs in Supergiant X-ray binaries : consequences for Vela X-1 and Cygnus X-1
I. El Mellah, A. A. C. Sander, J. O. Sundqvist +1
In Supergiant X-ray binaries (SgXB), a compact object captures a fraction of the wind of an O/B supergiant on a close orbit. Proxies exist to evaluate the efficiency of mass and an…
