Scientific paper

We propose to observe the Low Mass X-ray Binary GX 13+1 with Chandra HETGS, which is the unique neutron-star binary that exhibits iron-K absorption lines revealed from previous ASCA observations. Moreover, since GX 13+1 is a relatively bright and persistent radio source, it is of great interest to study the relation to the transient superluminal sources GRO J1655-40 and GRS 1915+105, which have shown similar spectral features in the X-ray spectra. The high resolution spectroscopy of GX 13+1 in the iron-K band will give important clues for understanding common physics of an accretion disk in neutron star and black hole binaries.
