The Structure Of The Accretion Disk In The ADC Source 4U 1822-371

Bayless, A. J.; Robinson, E. L.; Hynes, R. I.; Ashcraft, T. A.; Cornell, M. E. (2010-07)

The low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) 4U 1822-371 has an accretion disk corona (ADC) that scatters X-ray photons from the inner disk and neutron star out of the line of sight. It has a high orbital inclination and the secondary ...

Optical And Uv Light Curves Of The Accretion Disk Corona Source 4U 1822-371

Bayless, A. J.; Robinson, E. L.; Cornell, M. E.; Hynes, R. I.; Ashcraft, T. A. (2008-05)

The eclipsing low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1822-371 is the prototypical accretion disk corona (ADC) system. We have obtained new time-resolved UV spectrograms of 4U 1822-371 with the Hubble Space Telescope and new V- and J-band ...
