XTE JO111.2-7317: An X-Ray Binary in the SMC

Abstract

The observed characteristics of the nebulosity surrounding the SMC High Mas X-ray Binary XTE J0111.2-7316 are examined in the context of three possible nebular types: SNR, bowshock and HII region. Observational evidence is presented which appears to support the interpretation that the nebulosity surrounding XTE JO111.2-7316 is an HII region. The source therefore appears to be a normal SMC BeXRB embedded in a locally enhanced ISM which it has photoionised to create an HII region.
