Abstract:
We present a new edition of the catalogue of high-mass X-ray binaries
in the Galaxy. The catalogue contains source name(s), coordinates,
finding chart, X-ray luminosity, system parameters, and stellar
parameters of the components and other characteristic properties of
114 high-mass X-ray binaries, together with a comprehensive selection
of the relevant literature. The aim of this catalogue is to provide
the reader with some basic information on the X-ray sources and their
counterparts in other wavelength ranges (gamma-rays, UV, optical,
IR, radio). About 60% of the high-mass X-ray binary candidates are
known or suspected Be/X-ray binaries, while 32% are supergiant/X-ray
binaries. Some sources, however, are only tentatively identified as
high-mass X-ray binaries on the basis of their X-ray properties
similar to the known high-mass X-ray binaries. Further identification
in other wavelength bands is needed to finally determine the nature of
these sources. In cases where there is some doubt about the high-mass
nature of the X-ray binary this is mentioned. Literature published
before 1 October 2005 has, as far as possible, been taken into
account.

Note (1): Type as follows:
P = X-ray pulsars
T = transient X-ray source
E = eclipsing system
R = radio emitting HMXBs
C = cyclotron resonance scattering feature at X-ray spectrum
U = Ultra-soft X-ray spectrum. These sources include black-hole
candidates (BHC); some 'extreme ultra-soft' (EUS) source may be
white dwarf (WD) on whose surface steady nuclear burning takes place.
Note (2): Type of observation as follows:
o = optical
x = X-ray
r = radio
IR = infrared
