Be stars in the X-ray binary context
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 December 2019
Abstract
Rapidly rotating B-type stars with gaseous mass-loss disks in Keplerian rotation are common central objects in X-Ray binaries. These disks are physically well understood in the framework of the viscous decretion disk, and their typical parameters have been established for a large number of single Be stars in the recent years. According to the current observational evidence, the Be stars and disks found in BeXRBs are well within the boundaries known from single Be stars, i.e., they are normal Be stars. New results have also been obtained on the orbital disk truncation and other tidal effects of the companion objects on the disk.
