Scientific paper

We monitored the obscured high-mass X-ray binary IGR J16320-4751 with the ESA X-ray satellite XMM-Newton in order to study the spectral evolution of the source along its orbital period, particularly the hydrogenic column density. Because of the strong interaction between the supergiant wind and the X-ray radiation of the accreted material, this source is an ideal laboratory to study 1) the relation between the column density, the soft excess and the orbital period, and 2) to probe the properties of the stellar wind and the geometry of the system.
