Obscuring Supersoft X-ray Sources in Stellar Winds

Obscuring Supersoft X-ray Sources in Stellar Winds

Abstract We investigate the possibility of obscuring supersoft X-ray sources in the winds of companion stars. We derive limits on the amount of circumstellar material needed to fully obscure a ā€˜canonicalā€™ supersoft X-ray source in the Large Magellanic Cloud, as observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory .
