Scientific paper

X1822-371 is the prototype of the Accretion Disk Corona (ADC) sources, i.e., near edge-on low mass X-ray binaries where the primary emission is observed via scattering in a very spatially extended corona, and we are viewing the X-ray source partially eclipsed/absorbed by the atmosphere of the outer accretion disk. We therefore propose Chandra High Energy Transmission Gratings (HETG) observations to obtain line diagnostics of the disk atmosphere and structure. Our observations are designed to go substantially deeper than the existing archive observation, i.e., doubling the signal-to-noise, and thus providing a "legacy" dataset for HETG observations of ADC.
