Scientific paper

We propose Chandra HETGS observations of the Z source GX 17+2 for 30 ks, to perform a detailed study of the iron K-shell features and other low energy features in this source. In particular these sources are known to show broad (~1 keV FWHM) iron Kalpha lines: several hypothesis were proposed to explain their width (e.g. relativistic and Doppler effects in an accretion disk, Compton scattering, line-blending), and we expect that the high energy resolution (actually the highest in the iron Kalpha line range) of Chandra HETGS will be able to resolve the complex line shape and to constrain the various models proposed.
