| Title: | UV view of BeXRBs, WSO-UV and perspectives for the future |
| Abstract: | There is little information about BeXRBs systems in the UV bands. UV astronomy can be a key research field to understand observations in other wavelengths, it will cover the gap between optical and X-ray wavelengths. UV spectroscopy can provide vital info about the wind properties and the connection between the polar and equatorial winds. It can also provide information about the interaction of the X-ray emission from the neutron star with the wind structures of the Be star. UV photometry can help to improve the determination of intrinsic parameters and to analyze the photometric variability without contamination from the Be disk. UV data can also provide a more accurate measurement of the local extinction law. WSO-UV will open a new window which will lead to a large amount of new data on BeXRB systems. |
