Classical supergiant X-ray binaries host a neutron star orbiting a supergiant OB star and
display persistent X-ray luminosities of 1035–1037 erg s− 1. The stellar wind from the …

The accretion of the stellar wind material by a compact object represents the main
mechanism powering the X-ray emission in classical supergiant high mass X-ray binaries …

Context. 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 …

Supergiant X-ray binaries (sgxb) host a compact object, often a neutron star (NS), orbiting an
evolved O/B star. Mass transfer proceeds through the intense line-driven wind of the stellar …

We have developed a stellar wind model for OB supergiants to investigate the effects of
accretion from a clumpy wind on the luminosity and variability properties of high-mass X-ray …

We present in this paper a first step toward a semi-analytical treatment of the accretion
process in wind-fed neutron star (NS) supergiant X-ray binaries with eccentric orbits. We …

Aims. We investigate the anisotropy of stellar winds in binaries to improve the models of
accretion in high-mass X-ray binaries. Methods. We model numerically the stellar wind from …

Massive stars, at least∼ 10 \sim10 times more massive than the Sun, have two key
properties that make them the main drivers of evolution of star clusters, galaxies, and the …

Supergiant High Mass X-ray Binary systems (sgHMXBs) consist of a massive, late type, star
and a neutron star. The massive stars exhibits strong, radiatively driven, stellar winds. Wind …

Recent discoveries have confirmed the existence of a large population of X-ray sources
fuelled by accretion from the stellar wind of an OB supergiant. Such systems are powerful …
