Measuring masses in low mass X-ray binaries via X-ray spectroscopy: the case of MXB 1659-298
The determination of fundamental parameters in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) typically relies on measuring the radial velocity curve of the companion star through optical or near-infrared spectroscopy. It was recently suggested that high resolution X-ray spectroscopy might enable a measurement of the radial velocity curve of the compact object by
Ponti, G. et al.
