Bowen blend echo-tomography of low mass X-ray binaries

Bowen blend echo-tomography of low mass X-ray binaries

We present simultaneous high time resolution (1–10 Hz) X‐ray and optical observations of the persistent LMXBs Sco X‐1 and V801 Ara( = 4U 1636‐536). In the case of Sco X‐1 we find that the Bowen/HeII emission lags the X‐ray light‐curves with a light travel time of ∼11–16 s which is …
