Concerning the occurrence of bow shocks around high-mass X-ray binaries

Abstract: Context. We investigate the occurrence of stellar bow shocks around high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) in the Galaxy. Aims. We seek to conduct a survey of HMXBs in the mid-infrared to search for the presence of bow shocks around these objects. Methods. Telescopes operating in the mid-infrared, such as the Spitzer Space Telescope or Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), are potent tools for searching for the stellar bow shocks. We used the available archival data from these telescopes to search for bow shoc… Show more

“…Two Liu catalogue objects have controversial classifications but do not figure in our analysis because their Gaia DR2 counterparts have no parallax. SIMBAD notes that the nature of 2S 0053+604 (𝛾 Cas) as an X-ray binary is controversial (for a summary, see Prišegen 2019). Although the star itself is in Gaia DR2, its bright magnitude (𝐺 = 1.82) means that its observations require special processing expected in a later data release (Gaia Collaboration et al 2018).…”

“…Most HMXBs are runaway systems (van den Heuvel et al 2000); when they move supersonically through the interstellar medium, a wind-bow shock can be produced (Kaper et al 1997;Gvaramadze et al 2011;Meyer et al 2014;Prišegen 2019). Blaauw (1961) proposed that an OB runaway obtains its high space velocity as a consequence of a supernova explosion in a binary.…”
