Physics

Scientific paper

We propose Chandra-HETG observations of LMC X-1, totaling 150 ksec (3-5 separate observations). Our goals are to 1) search for spectroscopic evidence of (likely highly ionized) wind-fed accretion in this system, 2) accurately determine the column density and elemental abundances for this sightline (a combination of the LMC column and absorption local to the system, the latter of which might be variable), 3) carefully model the disk spectrum from 0.4-8 keV, and 4) use the LMC X-1 spectrum to probe the warm/hot phases of the Galactic halo interstellar medium (ISM).
