To support our current observing program monitoring High Mass X-ray Binary (HMXB) systems for optical variability, we have observed a sample of comparison stars in the fields of several known HMXB systems using calibrated H-alpha and H-beta photometric systems. The observations were secured using the West Mountain 0.9-m telescope. The calibrations were established using multiple spectroscopic observations of H-Beta standards along with cluster stars from the Hyades and Coma clusters obtained with the 1.2-m telescope at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory. We report the first results for our program to identify and characterize the variable emission observed in the optical counterpart for each HMXB system.
We would like to thank the Brigham Young University College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences for continued support of research work at the West Mountain Observatory. Partial support for this project was derived from NSF grant AST #0618209.
