The Black Hole Binary Nova Scorpii 1994 ( GRO J 1655 - 40 ) : An improved chemical analysis ⋆
Context. The chemical analysis of secondary stars of low mass X-ray binaries provides an opportunity to study the formation processes of compact objects, either black holes or neutron stars. Aims. Following the discovery of overabundances of α-elements in the Keck I/HIRES spectrum of the secondary star of Nova Scorpii 1994 (Israelian et al. 1999), we obtained VLT/UVES high-resolution spectrosco...
متن کاملChemical Abundances of the Secondary Star in the Black Hole X-ray Binary XTE J1118+480
Following the recent abundance measurements of Mg, Al, Ca, Fe, and Ni in the black hole X-ray binary XTE J1118+480 using medium-resolution Keck II/ESI spectra of the secondary star (González Hernández et al. 2006), we perform a detailed abundance analysis including the abundances of Si and Ti. These element abundances, higher than solar, indicate that the black hole in this system formed in a s...
متن کاملLithium Production on a Low-mass Secondary in a Black Hole Soft X-ray Transient
We examine production of Li on the surface of a low-mass secondary in a black hole soft X-ray transient (BHSXT) through the spallation of CNO nuclei by neutrons which are ejected from a hot (> 10 MeV) advectiondominated accretion flow (ADAF) around the black hole. Using updated binary parameters, cross sections of neutron-induced spallation reactions, and mass accretion rates in ADAF derived fr...
متن کاملAspherical supernova explosions and formation of compact black hole low-mass X-ray binaries
It has been suggested that black-hole low-mass X-ray binaries (BHLMXBs) with short orbital periods may have evolved from BH binaries with an intermediate-mass secondary, but the donor star seems to always have higher effective temperatures than measured in BHLMXBs (Justham, Rappaport & Podsiadlowski 2006). Here we suggest that the secondary star is originally an intermediate-mass (∼ 2 − 5M⊙) st...
متن کاملForty Years of X-Ray Binaries
In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...
متن کاملMassive Perturbers and the Efficient Merger of Binary Massive Black Holes
We show that dynamical relaxation in the aftermath of a galactic merger, and the ensuing formation of a binary massive black hole (MBH), are dominated by massive perturbers (MPs), such as giant molecular clouds or clusters. MPs accelerate relaxation by orders of magnitude relative to 2-body stellar relaxation alone, and efficiently scatter stars into the binary MBH’s orbit. The 3-body star–bina...
