Periastron accretion in high mass X-ray binaries : comparing supergiant fast X-ray transients and Be/X-ray binaries
High Mass X-ray Binaries (HXMBs) are some of the brightest objects in the X-ray sky and test our understanding of accretion physics in extreme stellar environments. In this thesis, characterisation of the accretion processes around periastron in two Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs) and one B...
