Study of the reflection spectra of SAX J1748.9-2021.

Abstract (from CDS):

We report the spectral analysis of accretion powered millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1748.9-2021 from the NuSTAR observation made during its 2015 outburst. The spectra displayed a broad emission line at ∼6.5 keV with line width of ∼0.5 keV and excess above ∼20 keV due to Compton hump. The persistent emission of SAX J1748.9-2021 is described by a combination of soft thermal component with kT =0.62+0.03–0.05 keV and thermally Comptonized component with kTe=2.50+0.06–0.03 keV reflected from the disc with reflection fraction of 0.30+0.08–0.04. We have modelled the reflection spectrum with self-consistent model relxillCP and have found the inclination of the accretion disc to be 32○. 3+4.8–4.7 and log ξ is equal to 3.05+0.40–0.34. We have obtained an upper limit of 57 km for inner disc radius; and the estimated magnetic field strength at the poles is less than 3.4 x 109 G. This kind of detailed investigation of reflection spectrum of SAX J1748.9-2021, especially above 10 keV, has been achieved only because of high statistics NuSTAR data of the source.
