X-ray photoionization can create zones of highly ionized trace elements in the interstellar gas around a galactic X-ray source. Ultraviolet absorption lines due to the resulting ionic column densities may be observable and may provide information on the environment and age of the X-ray source. The calculated column densities are sensitive to the rates of charge-exchange reactions.
