Scientific paper

EXO 0748-676 is a transient X-ray burst source that shows X-ray eclipses as well as broad intensity dips that last for about 1/3 of the orbital period (3.82 hrs). Recent analysis of the persistent emission revealed a previously unseen soft X-ray excess. It was indicated that during the dips the central X-ray source is obscured by dipping material in the accretion disk. We want to use these event in order to investigate line emission from either an accretion disk corona or photoionized layers on the disk, which is usually overpowered by the intense continuum emission of the central source. The source is also a quite frequent X-ray burster leaving the opportunity to search for narrow absorption features in the spectra of burst tails.
