Detection of Reflection Features in the Neutron Star Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Serpens X-1 with NICER

We present Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) observations of the neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary Serpens X-1 during the early mission phase in 2017. With the high spectral sensitivity and low-energy X-ray passband of NICER, we are able to detect the Fe L line complex in addi...
