Neutron star high mass X-ray binaries with superorbital modulations in luminosity host warped inner accretion disks that occult the neutron star during precession. In SMC X-1, the instability in the warped disk geometry causes superorbital period "excursions:" times of instability when the superorbital period decreases from its typical value of 55...
