Scientific paper

I discuss analysis and modeling techniques which are applicable to line emission spectra from Low-Mass X-ray Binaries. Models can be used to identify whether we are observing an accretion disk, an illuminated companion, or some other structure. I discuss 'generic photoionization' and 'accretion disk atmosphere' models which take us a step further in identifying the emitter, measuring elemental abundances, and exploiting plasma diagnostics. I review some LMXB spectra observed with the Chandra HETG and the XMM-Newton RGS.
