HEATING IN AN EXTENDED ACCRETION DISK CORONA ALONG THE Z-PATTERN IN CYG X-2

We observed at very high spectral resolution the prototype Z-source Cyg X-2 twice along its entire X-ray spectral variation pattern. In this preliminary analysis, we find an extended accretion disk corona (ADC) exhibiting Lyα emissions from various H-like ions, as well as emissions from He-like ions...
