We present new optical spectroscopy of the gamma-ray binary LS 5039. Our data show evidence for sub-orbital modulation in the radial velocities with amplitude ~7 km/s and period ~Porb/4. This short-term oscillation is stable over at least 7 years and it is likely triggered by non-radial oscillations of the O6.5V optical star. We also present the results of a spectroscopic campaign on MWC 148, the optical counterpart of the new gamma-ray binary candidate HESS J0632+067. Long-term variations in the Halpha and Hbeta emission line parameters are clearly detected which, if modulated with the binary orbit, would imply a period >200 days.

  1. Further evidence for natal kick segregation by spectral type in high-mass X-ray binaries

    astro-ph.HE 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    High-mass X-ray binaries with Be companions predominantly move slower than 40 km/s, while those with supergiant companions predominantly move faster, a statistically robust separation likely reflecting different natal kicks.
