Title:Physical properties of Be stars in X-ray binaries
Abstract:We present a method to disentangle the circumstellar emission from the photospheric spectra of Be stars in X-ray binaries. It is based on simultaneous spectroscopy and photometry of BeX-ray binaries in the Magellanic clouds and in the Milky Way. It has allowed us to derive important physical parameters of the massive donors, like the distance, and their circumstellar envelopes, their densities and sizes.
