We present new radial velocities of the high-mass X-ray binary star 4U 2206+54 based on optical spectra obtained with the Coude spectrograph at the 2m RCC telescope at the Rozhen National Astronomical Observatory, Bulgaria in the period November 2011 -- July 2013. The radial velocity curve of the HeI $lambda$6678 AA line is modeled with an orbital period P$_{orb}$ = 9.568~d and an eccentricity of $e$ = 0.3. These new measurements of the radial velocity resolve the disagreements of the orbital period discussions.
The source 4U 2206+54 is one of the most enigmatic high-mass X-ray binaries. In spite of intensive searches, X-ray pulsations have not been detected in the time range 0.001-1000 s. A cyclotron line at ~30 keV has been suggested by various authors but
The X-ray binary 4U 1954+31 has been classified as a Low Mass X-ray Binary (LMXB) containing a M giant and a neutron star (NS). It has also been included in the rare class of X-ray symbiotic binaries (SyXB). The Gaia parallax, infrared colors, spectr
The X-ray binary system 4U 2206+54 hides many mysteries. Among them, the surprising behavior of both of its components: the O9.5 dwarf star BD+53$^circ$2790 and a slowly rotating neutron star. BD+53$^circ$2790 misled the astronomers showing itself ve
We modelled optical light curves of Sco~X-1 obtained by the Kepler space telescope during K2 mission. Modelling was performed for the case of the strong heating of the optical star and accretion disc by X-rays. In the considered model the optical sta
There are very few confirmed black holes with a mass that could be $sim! 4, M_odot$ and no neutron stars with masses greater than $sim! 2, M_odot$, creating a gap in the observed distribution of compact star masses. Some black holes with masses betwe
