Cloudy in the Microcalorimeter Era: Improved Energies for Si and S Kα Fluorescence Lines.

Abstract (from CDS):

The upcoming X-ray missions based on the microcalorimeter technology require exquisite precision in spectral simulation codes in order to match the unprecedented spectral resolution. In this work, we improve the fluorescence Kα energies for Si II-XI and S II-XIII in the code Cloudy. In particular, we provide here a patch to update the Cloudy fluorescence energy table, originally based on Kaastra & Mewe, with the laboratory energies measured by Hell et al. The new Cloudy simulations were used to model the Chandra/HETG spectra of the High Mass X-ray Binary Vela X-1, showing a remarkable agreement and a dramatic improvement with respect to the current release version of Cloudy (C17.02).
