Insights into Density and Location Diagnostics of Photoionized Outflows in X-Ray Binaries
The population of metastable levels is key to high-precision density diagnostics of astrophysical plasmas. In photoionized plasmas, density is used to infer the distance from the ionizing source, which is otherwise difficult to obtain. Perfecting models that compute these populations is thus crucial...
