摘要
Chevalier & Ilovaisky use Hipparcos data to show that the X-ray binary systems LSI+61 degrees 303 and A0535+262 are a factor of 10 closer (i.e. d similar to few hundred pc) than previously thought (d similar to 2 kpc). We present high-quality CCD spectra of the systems, and conclude that the spectral types, reddening acid absolute magnitudes of these objects are strongly inconsistent with the closer distances. We propose that the Hipparcos distances to these two systems are incorrect owing to their relatively faint optical magnitudes.
