Orbital modulation of X - ray emission lines in Cygnus X - 3 .
Aims. We address the problem where the X-ray emission lines are formed and investigate orbital dynamics using Chandra HETG observations, photoionizing calculations and numerical wind-particle simulations. The aims were to set constraints on the masses of the components of this close binary system consisting of a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star and a compact component and to investigate the nature of the l...
متن کاملStudy the X - ray Dust Scattering Halos with Chandra Observations of Cygnus X - 3 and Cygnus X - 1
We improve the method proposed by Yao et al (2003) to resolve the X-ray dust scattering halos of point sources. Using this method we re-analyze the Cygnus X-1 data observed with Chandra (ObsID 1511) and derive the halo radial profile in different energy bands and the fractional halo intensity (FHI) as I(E) = 0.402×E keV. We also apply the method to the Cygnus X-3 data (Chandra ObsID 425) and de...
متن کاملDramatic variability of X-ray absorption lines in the black hole candidate Cygnus X-1
We report results from a 30 ks observation of Cygnus X-1 with the High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer (HETGS) on board the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Numerous absorption lines were detected in the HETGS spectrum. The lines are associated with highly ionized Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, and Fe, some of which have been seen in earlier HETGS observations. Surprisingly, however, we discovered d...
متن کاملTemporal evolution of X - ray lags in Cygnus X - 1
We present the long term evolution of the frequency dependent X-ray time lags of the black hole candidate Cygnus X-1 as measured in 1996 and 1998 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). Lag spectra measured during the 1996 June soft state are very similar to those seen during 1996 December and most of 1998 while Cyg X-1 was in its hard state. During state transitions, however, the shape an...
متن کاملBroad Band X-ray Spectrum of Cygnus X-1
We present the hard X-ray (20 − 100 keV) observations of Cygnus X-1 obtained using a large area balloon-borne Xenon filled Multi-anode Proportional Counter (XMPC) telescope. The observations were carried out during the γ 2 state of the source and we obtain a power law photon index of 1.62±0.07. To constrain the spectral shape of the source, we have analyzed the archival EXOSAT ME argon and GSPC...
