Scientific paper

We report the first convincing detection of narrow features in the grating-resolution X-ray spectrum of a transient low-mass X-ray binary and Galactic black hole candidate. XTE J1650-500 was discovered by Remillard (2001, IAU Circ. 7707) with the All Sky Monitor aboard the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), and identified as a black hole candidate due to its hard spectrum. Our observations of the source throughout its fall-winter 2001 outburst with the RXTE Proportional Counter Array (PCA) reveal spectra and rapid variability consistent with Galactic systems dynamically constrained to have black hole primaries.
