cds-question@unistra.freclipsing-binary-starspulsarsradial-velocityWe present the results of a spectroscopic monitoring campaign of the OB-star companions to the eclipsing X-ray pulsars SMC X-1, LMC X-4 and Cen X-3. High-resolution optical spectra obtained with UVES on the ESO Very Large Telescope are used to determine the radial-velocity orbit of the OB (super)giants with high precision. The excellent quality of the spectra provides the opportunity to measure the radial-velocity curve based on individual lines, and to study the effect of possible distortions of the line profiles due to e.g. X-ray heating on the derived radial-velocity amplitude.2007A&A...473..523Vhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/473/523CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/473/523https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/473/523http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/473/523https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/473/523https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/473/523http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/473/523GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapOpticalRadiodefaultJ/A+A/473/523/listList of radial-velocity curvesrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
