Abstract:
High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) are a particular class of high-energy
sources which require multi-wavelength observational efforts to be
properly characterised. New identifications and refinement of previous
measurements are regularly published in the literature by independent
teams of researchers and could, once collected in a catalogue, offer a
tool to facilitate further studies on HMXBs. We aim to update on
previous instances of catalogues of HMXBs in the Galaxy, and provide
the community easy access to the most complete set of observables on
Galactic HMXBs. On top of the fixed version that is available in
Vizier, we also aim to host and maintain a dynamic version that can be
updated upon request from users, and where any modification will be
logged. Using previous catalogues of HMXBs supplemented by listings of
hard X-ray sources detected in the past 20 years, we produce a base
set of HMXBs and candidates by means of identifier and sky coordinate
cross-matches. We query in Simbad for unreferenced HMXBs. We search
for as many hard X-ray, soft X-ray, optical and infrared counterparts
to the HMXBs as we can in well-known catalogues and compile their
coordinates. Each HMXB is subject to a meticulous search in the
literature to find relevant measurements and their original reference.
We provide a catalogue of 152 HMXBs in the Galaxy with their best
known coordinates, companion star spectral type, systemic radial
velocities, component masses, orbital period, eccentricity and spin
period when available. We also provide the coordinates and identifiers
for each counterpart we found from hard X-rays to near-infrared,
including 111 counterparts from the recent Gaia DR3 catalogue.
Description:
This table was created from datamining in the published litterature.
It takes into account information available up until 2022 (included).
Values for binary parameters are joined with a reference in which the
value was derived. Position data for which we have manually found a
counterpart also have a specific reference; if not, then the data
comes directly from the corresponding catalogue.

Note (1): HMXB class as follows:
Be = Be HMXB
sg = supergiant HMXB
SFXT = supergiant fast X-ray transient
WR = Wolf-Rayet
Note (2): A negative value in eccentricity error indicates that the given
eccentricity is an upper limit.
