Using these observations we studied the broadband spectrum of the source to constrain the continuum components and to verify the presence of a reflection component. We analysed the soft and hard state of the source, finding that the soft state can be modelled with a thermal component associated with the inner accretion disc plus a Comptonised component. A smeared reflection component and the presence of an ionised absorber are also requested in the best-fit model. On the other hand, the direct continuum emission in the hard state can be described by a Comptonised component with a temperature larger than 150 keV. Also in this case a reflection component and a ionised absorber are observed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-06-26T10:36:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "broadband spectral analysis", "hard state", "reflection component", "x-ray transient eclipsing source mxb", "inner accretion disc plus" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
