HMXBs in the Galaxy catalogue
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) are a particular class of high-energy sources which require multi-wavelength observational efforts to be properly characterised.
Description
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.
