The origin of the runaway high-mass X-ray binary HD 153919/4U1700-37

Abstract: Abstract. Based on its Hipparcos proper motion, we propose that the high-mass X-ray binary HD153919/4U1700-37 originates in the OB association Sco OB1. At a distance of 1.9 kpc the space velocity of 4U1700-37 with respect to Sco OB1 is 75 km s −1 . This runaway velocity indicates that the progenitor of the compact X-ray source lost about 7 M during the (assumed symmetric) supernova explosion. The system's kinematical age is about 2 ± 0.5 million years which marks the date of the supernova explosion forming the… Show more

“…The detection of QPOs and the absence of pulsation (Dolan, 2011) favour a black hole compact object while the hard X-ray spectral shape is typical for an accreting pulsar. The binary may have escaped the Sco OB1 association 2 millions years ago (Ankay et al, 2001). High-ionisation lines have been observed also during eclipses, indicating that the stellar wind is very inhomogeneous (Boroson et al, 2003).…”

“…It was suggested by Walborn (1973) that the object could be physically related to the runaway HMXB HD 153919/4U1700-37 (see Ankay et al 2001), that is at a projected linear distance of ∼24 pc. Note that SIMBAD lists HD 153426 wrongly as a B9II-III star.…”

“…We would like to note that the field O star population defined in this way contains three confirmed runaway stars, viz. HD 66811 (ζ Pup, e.g., Chlebowski 1989), HD 75222 (Hoogerwerf et al 2001) and HD 153919 (Ankay et al 2001). We have marked them in Table 2 with an asterisk.…”

“…Hoogerwerf et al (2001) expand the database to 21 of 56 runaways traceable to specific clusters and remark that the former binary, consisting of z Oph and the progenitor of PSR J1932, once lived in the Sco OB2 association. Other Sco OB fugitives include the runaway neutron star RX J18535Ϫ3743 (Walter 2001), and the high-mass X-ray binary 4U 1700Ϫ37 p HD 153919 (Ankay et al 2001), which departed about 2 million years ago. Because the star that actually exploded in the "supernova runaway" mechanism is always by then the less massive of the pair (remember Roche lobe overflow), it is at least as easy to make a runaway binary as a runaway single, and both require non-spherical ejection of something during the explosion.…”
