Phase-resolved spectroscopy of 4 high-mass X-ray binaries, aimed at measuring the mass of the neutron star companion from the radial-velocity curve of the OB star. The success of the program depends on the full coverage of the orbital period of each object. 12 OBs have been provided for each target, and all have an attached ThAr. Spectra do not need to be obtained during just one orbit of the system. A table listing all the dates suitable for the entire P68 has been provided (phasetbl.ps). The PI has also specified within which accuracy all the phases should be observed: this depends on the object - please cf README file for a wealth of details.
