Accurate Treatment of Comptonization in X-ray Illuminated Accretion Disks
[article]

arXiv
pre-print
A large fraction of accreting black hole and neutron stars systems present clear evidence of the reprocessing of X-rays in the atmosphere of an optically-thick accretion disk. The main hallmarks of X-ray reflection include fluorescent K-shell emission lines from iron (∼ 6.4-6.9 keV), the absorption iron K-edge (∼ 7-9 keV), and a broad featureless component known as the Compton hump (∼ 20-40 keV). This Compton hump is produced as the result of the scattering of high-energy photons (E ≳ 10 keV)
