Optical variability of the Be X-ray binary CPD -29 2176

This paper analyzes optical photometry and spectroscopy of the Be X-ray binary CPD -29 2176. It finds the system has a nearly pole-on disk, with photometric variability indicating disk buildup every 600-800 days. The orbital period is 59 days. Frequency analysis reveals oscillation groups that indicate a stellar rotation rate near 1.5 cycles/day.
