Abstract: Results of spectral and photometric studies of the two Be/X-ray binaries 1H1936+541 and 1H2202+501 are presented. The spectral class of the optical component of the 1H1936 + 541 system was first determined and the spectral class of the optical component of the 1H2202 + 501 system was refined. The results obtained allowed us to state that the optical components of the systems 1H1936 + 541 and 1H2202 + 501 are Be stars of the spectral type B1Ve and B3Ve, respectively. These findings, as well as the well-known spectral type distribution of Be stars can testify to the fact that the object 1H1936 + 541 belongs to X-ray binary systems. At the same time, taking into account the fact that Be / X-ray binaries of spectral type B3 are still very little known, the object 1H2202 + 501 can not be unambiguously classified as a Be / X-ray binary. The rotational speeds of the main components of these systems are 246 ± 11 km/s for 1H1936 + 541 and 111 ± 8 km/s for 1H2202 + 501, and the range of the angles of their rotation axes is within 49...82° and 21...28°, respectively. Additionally, using the B and V band photometric observations and spectral classes obtained, we estimated interstellar extinction values E(В – V), as well as distances to the objects. In particular, for 1H2202 + 501, the value of E(В – V) is 0.36 ± 0.03m, and the distance r ranges from 0.8 to 1.6 kpc. For the 1H1936 + 541 system, the following values were obtained: E(В – V) = 0.23 ± 0.03m and r = 2.1...3.6 kpc. Comparison of the distances to the objects with data from the GAIA DR2 catalog (http://gea.esac.esa.int/archive/) revealed the coincidence of the corresponding values within the limits of errors. |
