Beginning of ReadMe : J/A+A/473/523 Spectroscopic monitoring of 3 neutron stars (Van der Meer+, 2007) ================================================================================ Determination of the mass of the neutron star in SMC X-1, LMC X-4 and Cen X-3 with VLT/UVES. van der Meer A., Kaper L., van Kerkwijk M.H., Heemskerk M.H.M., van den Heuvel E.P.J. <Astron. Astrophys. 473, 523 (2007)> =2007A&A...473..523V ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Binaries, eclipsing ; Pulsars ; Radial velocities Keywords: stars: binaries: eclipsing - stars: neutron - stars: general - equation of state - accretion, accretion disks Abstract: We 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. Description: Electronic tables belong to table 3 of the paper. As described in the paper, all lines that have been fit to obtain the radial-velocity curve of SMC X-1, LMC X-4 and Cen X-3, are published as online material at CDS. Each table contains the orbital phase, the velocity, error on the velocity, the full width at half maximum, error on the full width at half maximum, the flux and error on the flux. Errors indicate 1 sigma.
