Scientific paper

We propose to observe the archetypal low-luminosity high mass X-ray binary, Vela X-1 to study the dynamics of the stellar wind in the system. The high resolving power capabilities of the Chandra HETGS will allow us study the ionization structure and geometrical distribution of matter in the circumstellar medium through accurate measurements of emission measures and Doppler shifts of bright emission lines during several different orbital phases. We will also be able to simultaneuously constrain some of the key stellar wind parameters including the mass-loss rate and velocity structure of the stellar wind.
