A SURVEY OF THE LOW ENERGY LINE EMISSION PROPERTIES OF LMXRB


ABSTRACT

We are making a survey of the low energy emission line properties of LMXRB. This proposal is to complete this survey by observing the last two suitable low absorption systems 4U 1755-33 and LMC X-2. The survey to date is showing different line patterns that may be related to the abundance and evolutionary status of the companion star. By increasing the size of the sample we will be able to investigate the importance of abundance variations, vs. differences in the ionization state and system geometry.
