| Abstract: |
Be/X-ray and Be/γ-ray binaries are systems comprised of a Be star and a compact object. In these systems, the Be disk plays an important role in their high-energy activities through the interaction with the compact object. Because of highly eccentric orbits, the interaction depends on the orbital phase in Be/X and Be/γ-ray binaries. Such interaction affects the Be disk structure, causing photometric and polarimetric variabilities. In order to search for photometric and polatimetric variability in Be/X-ray and Be/γ-ray binaries, we have monitored several systems with the polarimeter attached to Hiroshima 1.5m Kanata telescope, Japan. Our two-year monitor finds that some programmed systems show photometric variations and a few systems show polatimatric variabilities. |
