System mass constraints for the accreting millisecond pulsar XTE J1814-338 using Bowen fluorescence

System mass constraints for the accreting millisecond pulsar XTE J1814-338 using Bowen fluorescence

We present phase-resolved spectroscopy of the millisecond X-ray pulsar XTE J1814-338 obtained during its 2003 outburst. The spectra are dominated by high-excitation emission lines of HeII $\lambda$4686, H$\beta$, and the Bowen blend CIII/NIII 4630-50\AA. We exploit the proven Bowen fluorescence technique to establish a complete set of dynamical system parameter …
