The mass of the compact object in the X-ray binary her X-1/HZ her

Abstract: We have obtained the first estimates of the masses of the components of the Her X-1/HZ Her X-ray binary system taking into account non-LTE effects in the formation of the H γ absorption line: m x = 1.8M ⊙ and m v = 2.5M ⊙ . These mass estimates were made in a Roche model based on the observed radial-velocity curve of the optical star, HZ Her. The masses for the X-ray pulsar and optical star obtained for an LTE model lie are m x = 0.85 ± 0.15M ⊙ and m v = 1.87 ± 0.13M ⊙ . These mass estimates for the components… Show more

“…In our model, we do not prescribe the EOS; rather we apply two step method to examine the possibility of using the anisotropy to obtain spherically symmetric configurations with Buchdahl metric potential. In order to constrain the value of model parameters, we consider analogue objects with similar mass and radii such as LMC X-4 [103], SMC X-1 [83], EXO 1785-248 [81], SAX J1808.4-3658 (SS2) [84], Her X-1 [82], 4U 1538-52 [83], PSR 1937+21 [86], and Cen X-3 [83] to those stars in Buchdahl anisotropic geometry.…”

“…In this interest, we would like to discuss that our results for λ = 0 of Eqs. (19)-(21), (29)-(31), (35), (39), (55), (57), (58), (61), (66)-(69) approaches to Eqs. 9-11, 28-30, 33, 35, 54, 56, 58, 61, 66-69 of Herrera Ref.…”

“…Indeed, recent analysis of non-LTE effects in the formation of the H γ absorption line allows two solutions: q = 0.45 and q = 0.72 (Abubekerov et al 2008). Equation (8) implies that the critical (Ṁ x ) cons decreases for smaller q: for q = 0.45 we obtain (Ṁ x ) cons 5.4 × 10 17 g s −1 .…”
