Description


We present new optical spectroscopy of the eclipsing binary pulsar Sk 160/SMC X-1. From the He I absorption lines, taking heating corrections into account, we determine the radial velocity semi-amplitude of Sk 160 to be 21/8+/-1.8km/s. Assuming Sk 160 fills its Roche-lobe, the inclination angle of the system is i=65.3+/-1.3{deg} and in this case we obtain upper limits for the mass of the neutron star as Mx=1.21+/-0.10M_{sun}_ and for Sk 160 as Mo=16.6+/-0.4M_{sun}.
