Scientific paper

A fully self-consistent radiative hydrodynamical algorithm developed earlier is used to study the 'steady' state coronae in order to simulate the response of the evaporated outflow to a time-dependent irradiation of the disk's surface. It is found that the burst definition is altered at both low and high inclination angles i. At i greater than or approximately equal to 45 deg, the detectable flux is enhanced (as much as 50 percent) by X-rays scattered into the line of sight from the radiation propagation through the corona, and (greater than or approximately equal to 30 percent) by X-rays reflected off the corona when i is less than or approximately equal to 45 deg.
