High-resolution X-Ray Spectroscopy of Interstellar Iron toward Cygnus X-1 and GX 339-4

High-resolution X-Ray Spectroscopy of Interstellar Iron toward Cygnus X-1 and GX 339-4

We present a high-resolution spectral study of Fe L -shell extinction by the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) in the direction of the X-ray binaries Cygnus X-1 and GX 339–4, using the XMM-Newton reflection grating spectrometer. The majority of interstellar Fe is suspected to condense into dust grai...
