Journal ArticleDOI
Photoelectric absorption cross sections with variable abundances
Abstract: Polynomial fit coefficients have been obtained for the energy dependences of the photoelectric absorption cross sections of 17 astrophysically important elements. These results allow the calculation of X-ray absorption in the energy range 0.03-10 keV in material with noncosmic abundances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurements of accretion disc corona size in LMXB: consequences for Comptonization and LMXB models
TL;DR: In this paper, the radial extent of the accretion disc corona in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB) was measured and the authors proved conclusively the extended nature of the ADC, with radial extent varying from 20, 000 km in the faintest sources to 700, 000 kilometres in the brightest sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simple photoelectric absorption during dipping in the asca observation of XB 1916-053
M. J. Church,Tadayasu Dotani,Monika Bałucińska-Church,Kazuhisa Mitsuda,Tadayuki Takahashi,Hajime Inoue,Kenji Yoshida +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral evolution of a low-mass X-ray binary dip source XB 1916-053 was investigated by spectral analysis in intensity bands covering the full range of dip from intensities close to zero to nondip values.

Simple Photoelectric Absorption during Dipping in the ASCA Observation of XB1916-053
M. J. Church,Tadayasu Dotani,Monika Bałucińska-Church,Kazuhisa Mitsuda,Tadayuki Takahashi,H. Inoue,Kenji Yoshida +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral evolution of the binary dip source XB1916-053 can be explained in terms of photoelectric absorption without the need for substantial electron scattering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Results of a LMXB survey: Variation in the height of the neutron star blackbody emission region
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results of a survey of the spectra of low mass X-ray Binaries using ASCA. But the authors do not consider the effect of the number of stars in the spectrum.
