1 Otero, Sebastian Alberto Period confirmed with ASAS-3 data. P= 41.59 d. in the catalogue of high-mass X-ray binaries (Liu et al., 2006) is wrong. Maximum of the ellipsoidal variations is a sharp peak at phase 0.08.
2 GCVS Team 3U 1223-62. A unique X-system. Consists of an X-pulsar with pulse period 698s [M.Oda, IAU Circ N3703, 1982.] moving on an excentric orbit (E = 0.47) around the ellipsoidal B2 supergiant with orbital period of 41.51d. Accretion of the stellar wind from the primary star on the pulsar increases during the periastron passage. Therefore large X-flares are observed with the elements: T (X Max) = 2433158.09 + 41.51d*E. Optical flares are possible.
