Scientific paper

We propose to conduct a dedicated 30 ksec (0.06 of orbital phase) HETG observation of Cyg X-1 near orbital phase 0.5 (in TE mode, if reasonable). This orbital phase-dependent observation is designed to provide the greatest contrast with our existing dipping phase (orbital phase 0) observations, and thereby reveal the absorbing wind of the secondary at its minimum. The observation will allow us to view the secondary wind at its least dense, but most blueshifted points. Aside from further elucidating the structure of the wind, this will also give us our most unfettered view of the soft excess and Fe line region emanating from the black hole's accretion disk.
