Title A name given to the resource Insights on the Optical and Infrared Nature of MAXI J0709-159: Implications for High-Mass X-ray Binaries Subject The topic of the resource Circumstellar disks; Classical Be stars; HMXB; Photometry Description An account of the resource In our previous study (Bhattacharyya et al., 2022), HD 54786, the optical counterpart of the MAXI J0709-159 system, was identified to be an evolved star, departing from the main sequence, based on comparisons with non-X-ray binary systems. In this paper, using color-magnitude diagram (CMD) analysis for High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) and statistical t-tests, we found evidence supporting HD 54786s potential membership in both Be/X-ray binaries (BeXRBs) and supergiant X-ray binaries (SgXBs) populations of HMXBs. Hence, our study points towards dual optical characteristics of HD 54786, as an X-ray binary star and also belonging to a distinct evolutionary phase from BeXRB towards SgXB. Our further analysis suggests that MAXI J0709-159, associated with HD 54786, exhibits low-level activity during the current epoch and possesses a limited amount of circumstellar material. Although similarities with the previously studied BeXRB system LSI +61? 235 (Coe et al., 1994) are noted, continued monitoring and data collection are essential to fully comprehend the complexities of MAXI J0709-159 and its evolutionary trajectory within the realm of HMXBs. 2024 Societe Royale des Sciences de Liege.
