SMC X-1
(2U 0115-73)
subjectfact 
SMC X-1is a part of Tucana2001-09-27 09:30:32.0
is a part of Small Magellanic Cloud2001-09-27 09:30:31.0
has synonym 2U 0115-732001-09-27 09:30:32.0
has orbital period 3.89-day2001-09-27 09:30:32.0
has definition An X-ray source in the Small Magellanic Cloud. It is a binary system. Identified with Sanduleak No. 160, a B0 I supergiant (mv = + 13.6). Because no radial-velocity variations are apparent in Sk 160, the mass of the X-ray emitter must be small relative to Sk 160 (about 2 Msun if Sk 160 is 20 Msun), unlike the compact member of CygX-1.has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press, 2001-09-27 09:30:32.0
