Scientific paper

We propose to obtain HETGS spectra of the pre-eclipse dips in Hercules X-1, to probe the ionization structure of the inner disk which is not visible at other times. We expect to detect broad emission lines during dips, which will enable a direct comparison with the narrow line spectrum observed in the low state. This comparison will establish whether the differences between dippers and accretion disk corona (ADC) sources are due exclusively to an inclination dependence. Numerous spectroscopic diagnostics will probe the temperature, density, kinematics and emission measure of the plasma.
