A New Set of Parameters of High-Mass X-ray Binaries Found with their Cyclotron Lines

2018 
We have derived new physical quantities for several High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) with supergiant (SG) companions through their cyclotron lines. The parameters are: the terminal velocity of the wind, the mass loss rate of the donor, the effective temperature and the magnetic fields. These parameters influence significantly the improvement of the model of accretion. In spite of the variety of their observational properties, the corresponding magnetic field is around B ~ 10^12 G. This result can be constrained by the effects on stellar evolution. In addition, we have performed a segmentation in the parameter space of donors intended for several SG-HMXB listed in our sample set. The parameter space can be categorized into five regimes depending on the possibility of disk formation associated with accretion from the stellar wind. This can give a quantitative clarification of the observed variability and the properties of these objects. We show that, when these systems come into the direct accretion region, systems with corresponding parameters can emit X-rays.
