Neutron star masses from hydrodynamical effects in obscured supergiant high mass X-ray binaries

Neutron star masses from hydrodynamical effects in obscured supergiant high mass X-ray binaries

A population of obscured supergiant High Mass X-ray Binaries (sgHMXBs) has been discovered by INTEGRAL. X-ray wind tomography of IGR J17252-3616 inferred a slow wind velocity to account for the enhanced obscuration. The main goal of this study is to understand under which conditions high obscuration could occur. We have …
