ABSTRACT

Detailed evidence on the system AX J0049.4−7323 is presented here to show how the passage of the neutron star in the binary system disrupts the circumstellar disc of the mass donor Be star. A similar effect is noted in three other Be/X-ray binary systems. Together, the observational data should provide valuable tools for modelling these complex interactions.
