چکیده
We find resolved interstellar O K, Ne K, and Fe L absorption spectra in the Chandra Low Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer spectrum of the low mass X-ray binary X0614+091. We measure the column densities in O and Ne, and find direct spectroscopic constraints on the chemical state of the interstellar O. These measurements probably probe a low-density line of sight through the Galaxy and we discuss the results in the context of our knowledge of the properties of interstellar matter in regions between the spiral arms. Subject headings: atomic processes—ISM: general— stars: individual: X0614+091— techniques: spectroscopic— X-rays: stars

X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy of the Multi-phase Interstellar Medium: Oxygen and Neon Abundances
X-ray absorption spectroscopy provides a potentially powerful tool in determining the metal abundances in various phases of the interstellar medium (ISM). We present a case study of the sight line toward 4U 1820–303 (Galactic coordinates l, b = 2.79,−7.91 and distance = 7.6 kpc), based on Chandra Grating observations. The detection of O I, O II, O III, O VII, O VIII, and Ne IX Kα absorption lin...
متن کاملHigh-resolution X-ray Spectroscopy of the Accretion Disk Corona Source 4u 1822−37
We present a preliminary analysis of the X-ray spectrum of the accretion disk corona source, 4U 1822−37, obtained with the High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer onboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We detect discrete emission lines from photoionized iron, silicon, magnesium, neon, and oxygen, as well as a bright iron fluorescence line. Phase-resolved spectroscopy suggests that the rec...
متن کاملMulti - wavelength study of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3783 with XMM - Newton
We present the analysis of multi-wavelength XMM-Newton data from the Seyfert galaxy NGC 3783, including UV imaging, X-ray and UV lightcurves, the 0.2−10 keV X-ray continuum, the iron Kα emission line, and high-resolution spectroscopy and modelling of the soft X-ray warm absorber. The 0.2−10 keV spectral continuum can be well reproduced by a power-law at higher energies; we detect a prominent Fe...
متن کاملXMM - Newton observations of the low – mass X – ray binary XB 1832 – 330 in the galactic globular cluster NGC 6652
Context. We report on two XMM-Newton observations performed in 2006 of the luminous low–mass X–ray binary XB 1832–330 which is located in the galactic globular cluster NGC 6652 and is probably an ultracompact binary (orbital period, P orb , of <1 hour). Aims. The aim of these observations is to investigate the low-energy absorption towards XB 1832–330 and in particular to search for Ne-rich mat...
متن کاملSynthesis and loading of nanocurcumin on iron magnetic nanoparticles modified with chitosan
Background: Curcuma longa generally known as turmeric includes curcuminoids and sesquiterpenoids as components, which are known to have antioxidative, anticarcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Iron, magnetite, and hematite as a micronutrient play an important role in physiological and chemical processes. Chitosan is a natural polymer derived from chitin and is recognized as versatile ...
