摘要
In the course of the XMMNewton survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), two new bright X-ray sources were discovered exhibiting the spectral characteristics of high-mass X-ray binaries but revealing only weak evidence for pulsations in just one of the objects (at 153 s in XMMU J010743.1-715953). The accurate X-ray source locations permit the identification of these X-ray sources with Be stars, thereby strongly suggesting that these systems are new Be/X-ray binaries. From blue spectra the proposed classification for XMMU J010633.1-731543 is B0.5-1Ve and for XMMU J010743.1-715953 it is B2IV-Ve.
