Effects of the stellar wind on X-ray spectra of Cygnus X-3

We study X-ray spectra of Cyg X-3 from BeppoSAX, taking into account absorption and emission in the strong stellar wind of its companion. We find the intrinsic X-ray spectra are well modelled by disc blackbody emission, its upscattering by hot electrons with a hybrid distribution, and by Compton reflection. These spectra are strongly modified by absorption and reprocessing in the stellar wind, ...

Study 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...

Temporal 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...

Broad 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...
