Observations of WR stars in binary systems are discussed, emphasizing constraints on our knowledge of the binary frequency of WR stars, and of WR stars as a distinctive class of objects. Radial velocity orbits of newly discovered binaries, e.g., WR 29, a short period WN7+OB binary in our Galaxy, and SMC/AB 7, a massive WN+O7 binary in the Small Magellanic Cloud, are presented. New spectroscopic observations of binary systems with previously known orbits are also reported, showing in the case of WR 21 evidence of change of the orbital elements as derived from different spectral lines. An elliptic orbit for CV Ser is also illustrated.

ABSTRACT The X-ray source SXP348 is a high-mass X-ray binary system in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Since its 1998 discovery by BeppoSAX, this pulsar has exhibited a spin period of ∼340−350 s. In an effort to determine the orientation and magnetic geometry of this source, we used our geometric model Polestar to fit 71 separate pulse profiles extracted from archival Chandra and XMM-Newton observations over the past two decades. During 2002, pulsations ceased being detectable for nine months despite the source remaining in a bright state. When pulsations resumed, our model fits changed, displaying a change in accretion geometry. Furthermore, in 2006, detectable pulsations again ceased, with 2011 marking the last positive detection of SXP348 as a point source. These profile fits will be released for public use as part of the database of Magellanic Cloud pulsars.

ABSTRACT We present two new radio continuum images from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) survey in the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). These images are part of the Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) Early Science Project (ESP) survey of the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. The two new source lists produced from these images contain radio continuum sources observed at 960 MHz (4489 sources) and 1320 MHz (5954 sources) with a bandwidth of 192 MHz and beam sizes of 30.0 × 30.0 arcsec2 and 16.3 × 15.1 arcsec2, respectively. The median root mean square (RMS) noise values are 186 $\mu$Jy beam−1 (960 MHz) and 165 $\mu$Jy beam−1 (1320 MHz). To create point source catalogues, we use these two source lists, together with the previously published Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST) and the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) point source catalogues to estimate spectral indices for the whole population of radio point sources found in the survey region. Combining our ASKAP catalogues with these radio continuum surveys, we found 7736 point-like sources in common over an area of 30 deg2. In addition, we report the detection of two new, low surface brightness supernova remnant candidates in the SMC. The high sensitivity of the new ASKAP ESP survey also enabled us to detect the bright end of the SMC planetary nebula sample, with 22 out of 102 optically known planetary nebulae showing point-like radio continuum emission. Lastly, we present several morphologically interesting background radio galaxies.
