X-ray reflection by photoionized accretion discs
Calculations of X-ray reflection spectra from ionized, optically-thick material are an important tool in investigations of accretion flows surrounding compact objects. We present the results of reflection calculations that treat the relevant physics with a minimum of assumptions. The temperature and ionization structure of the top five Thomson depths of an illuminated disc are calculated while ...
متن کاملSoft X-ray emission lines from photoionized accretion discs: constraints on their strength and width
We consider the properties of soft X-ray emission lines in the reprocessed emission from a photoionized accretion disc. Observations of these lines will be important in determining the ionization state and metallicity of the innermost regions of active galaxies. Calculations of reflection from a constant-density disc with an ionization parameter, ξ, between 250 and 1000 erg cm s show that emiss...
متن کاملReflection Spectra from Photoionized Accretion Discs
We review recent progress on the modeling and use of reflection spectra from irradiated and ionized accretion discs. On the computational side, calculations of reflection spectra from discs with non-uniform density structure have shown that thermal instabilities can effect the predictions. Ionized reflection spectra have been used effectively in fitting data of Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxies, a...
متن کاملIonized iron Kα lines in AGN X-ray spectra
The Equivalent Widths (EW) of the He– and H–like iron lines produced in photoionized, circumnuclear matter of AGN are calculated with respect to both the reflected and the total continua. We found that the EWs with respect to the total continuummay be as large as a few tens of eV, making them observable in bright Seyfert 1s by instruments on board Chandra and XMM–Newton. We apply our calculatio...
متن کاملX-ray Fluorescent Fe Kα Lines from Stellar Photospheres
X-ray spectra from stellar coronae are reprocessed by the underlying photosphere through scattering and photoionization events. While reprocessed X-ray spectra reaching a distant observer are at a flux level of only a few percent of that of the corona itself, characteristic lines formed by inner shell photoionization of some abundant elements can be significantly stronger. The emergent photosph...
