Abstract:
We present a new catalogue of high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) in the
Galaxy, improving upon the most recent of such catalogues. We include
new HMXBs discovered since previous publications and revise the
classification for several objects previously considered HMXBs or HMXB
candidates. The catalogue includes basic information such as source
names, coordinates, types, as well as other data such as distance and
X-ray flux estimates, binary system parameters and other
characteristic properties of the 169 HMXBs catalogued. We also present
finding charts in several bands from infra-red to hard X-rays for each
object.
The aim of this catalogue is to provide the reader with a list of all
currently known Galactic HMXBs, with some basic information on both
compact objects and non-degenerate counterpart properties (where
available). We also include objects tentatively classified as HXMBs in
the literature and give a brief motivation for the classification in
each case.
The catalogue is compiled based on a search of known HMXBs and
candidates in all publicly available databases and literature
published before May 2023. Relevant properties in various wavelength
bands were collected for all objects, either from the literature or
using data provided by large-scale surveys. For the latter case, the
counterparts in each individual survey were found by cross-correlating
positions of identified HMXBs with relevant databases.
An up-to-date catalogue of Galactic HMXBs is presented to facilitate
research in this field. We intended to collect a larger set of
relevant HMXB properties in a more uniform way compared to previously
published works.
Description:
The table was created by extracting data from existing HMXB
catalogues as well as databases like VizieR and Simbad. In addition to
that a complementary manual search in published literature was done.
This includes information published before May 2023. References for a
specific parameter of the binary system can be found in their
corresponding column.
