Compact objects undergoing mass transfer exhibit significant (and double-peaked) H α emission lines. Recently, new methods have been developed to identify black hole X-ray binaries and calculate their systematic parameters using H α line parameters, such as the full width at half-maximum (FWHM), equ...
