Title: | High ionisation absorption in low mass X-ray binaries | Authors: | PONTI, GABRIELE Bianchi, S. Muñoz-Darias, T. De, K. Fender, R. Merloni, A. |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Journal: | ASTRONOMISCHE NACHRICHTEN | Number: | 337 | Issue: | 4-5 | First Page: | 512 | Abstract: | The advent of the new generation of X-ray telescopes yielded a significant step forward in our understanding of ionised absorption generated in the accretion discs of X-ray binaries. It has become evident that these relatively weak and narrow absorption features, sporadically present in the X-ray spectra of some systems, are actually the signature of equatorial outflows, which might carry away more matter than that being accreted. Therefore, they play a major role in the accretion phenomenon. These outflows (or ionised atmospheres) are ubiquitous during the softer states but absent during the power-law dominated, hard states, suggesting a strong link with the state of the inner accretion disc, presence of the radio-jet and the properties of the central source. Here, we discuss the current understanding of this field. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26483 | URL: | https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/asna.201612339 | ISSN: | 0004-6337 | DOI: | 10.1002/asna.201612339 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016AN....337..512P | Fulltext: | open |
