NOTES
The value reported by Shahbaz2008, corresponding to the strongest periodicity found by the authors, is only suggested as the orbital period. However, Nelemans2006, Hakala2011 and Zhang2012, reassure this value by finding potential periodicities of 48.5, 50 and 48 min, respectively.
Madej2013 estimated an orbital period of ~30 min through time-resolved optical spectroscopy.
Table 4 in Baglio2014 lists radio and IR fluxes in different bands.
Burst oscillations at a frequency of 414.7 Hz (Strohmayer2008).
