Scientific paper

Models concerning an injected spectrum from a central point source propagating outward through a surrounding envelope, whose temperature is determined by the local radiation field, were developed. The spectrum is modified by Compton scattering during escape through the cloud. A grid of such models was constructed and used to fit EXOSAT data from eleven low mass X ray binaries. It is found that the comptonized model fits the spectral continuum observed in these sources and several physically interesting correlations amongst the fitted parameters are discovered.
