Implications of X-ray Line Variations for 4u1822-371

4U 1822–371 is one of the prototype accretion disk coronal sources with an orbital period of about 5.6 hr. The binary is viewed almost edge-on at a high inclination angle of 83°, which makes it a unique candidate to study binary orbital and accretion disk dynamics in high powered X-ray sources. We o...
