The Properties of the Absorbing and Line Emitting Material in IGR J16318−4848

The Properties of the Absorbing and Line Emitting Material in IGR J16318−4848

We analyzed the 2003 Target of Opportunity XMM–Newton observation of IGR J16318–4848, to derive the properties of the matter responsible for the obscuration and for the emission of Fe and Ni lines. The line of sight material has a column density of about 2×1024 cm-2 but, from the Fe Kα …
