A light curve for V884 Scorpii. The main plot, from TESS data,[1] shows the variation over several orbital periods. The inset plot, adapted from van Paradijs et al. (1984),[2] shows the average variation as a function of orbit phase. | |

4U 1700-37 is one of the stronger binary X-ray sources in the sky, and is classified as a high-mass X-ray binary. It was discovered by the Uhuru satellite.[12] The "4U" designation refers to the fourth (and final) Uhuru catalog.
The X-ray source is associated with a bright (6.53 V magnitude) blue supergiant star HD 153919, which is orbited by an accreting compact object that must be either a neutron star or a black hole. The X-ray source is eclipsed by the star every 3.4 days, but no pulsations have yet been observed. The source is one of the ten brightest persistent X-ray sources in the 10-100 keV hard X-ray energy region.
Evidence of Compton cooling during an X-ray flare recorded by the Chandra X-ray telescope strongly suggests that the compact object is a neutron star;[13] if verified it would be among the most massive known, and near the boundary of the theoretical maximum.
4U 1700-37 is a runaway system. It has a high velocity of 63±5 km/s with respect to its parent cluster, NGC 6231. It was kicked out of the cluster about 2.2 million years ago by a supernova explosion.[14]
