The physical nature of the sharp spectral featue at 7 keV detected in 1H0707-495
收藏资源简介:
Using XMMNewton we have observed 1H 0707495 and find a drop in flux by afactor of more than 2 at a restframe energy of virgul7keV without any detectablenarrow Fe Kalpha line emission. The energy of this feature suggests a connection with the neutral iron K photoelectric edge, but the lack of any obviousabsorption in the spectrum at lower energies makes the interpretation challenging. We explore two alternative explanations for this unusual spectral feature:1. partial covering absorption by clouds of neutral material and 2. ionised discreflection with lines and edges blurred together by relativistic effects. Thelimited statistics mean that the identification of the feature remains ambiguousand requires the obseravation length to be increased by a factor of 4. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
