Scientific paper

Optical spectra of the black hole candidate X-ray binary LMC X-1 reveal that the system is surrounded by an extended, highly ionized He III region, N159F, which appears to be the long-sought-for example of an X-ray-photoionized nebula. The spatially resolved temperature and ionization structure is used to measure the previously unobservable extreme ultraviolet luminosity of an accreting compact object.
