We present a detailed spectral study (photoionization modelling and variability) of the Big Dipper 4U 1624-490 based on a chandra-High Energy Transmission Gratings Spectrometer (HETGS) observation over the $sim76$ ks binary orbit of 4U 1624-490. While the continuum spectrum can be modeled using a blackbody plus power-law, a slightly better fit is obtained using a single $Gamma=2.25$ power-law partially (71%) covered by a local absorber of column density $N_{rm H, Local}=8.1_{-0.6}^{+0.7}times 10^{22} rm cm^{-2}$. The data show a possible quasi-sinusoidal modulation with period $43_{-9}^{+13}$ ks that might be due to changes in local obscuration. Photoionization modeling with the {sc xstar} code and variability studies of the observed strong ion{Fe}{25} and ion{Fe}{26} absorption lines point to a two-temperature plasma for their origin: a highly ionized component of ionization parameter $xi_{rm hot} approx 10^{4.3} {rm ergs cm s^{-1}}$ ($Tsim 3.0times 10^{6}$ K) associated with an extended accretion disk corona of radius $R sim3times10^{10}$ cm, and a less ionized more variable component of $xi approx 10^{3.4} {rm ergs cm s^{-1}}$ ($Tsim 1.0times 10^{6}$ K) and $rm xi approx 10^{3.1} ergs cm s^{-1}$ ($Tsim 0.9times 10^{6}$ K) coincident with the accretion disk rim. We use this, with the observed ion{Fe}{25} and ion{Fe}{26} absorption line variations (in wavelength, strength, and width) to construct a viewing geometry that is mapped to changes in plasma conditions over the 4U 1624-490 orbital period.
We present the results of a 73 ks long Chandra observation of the dipping source X 1624-490. During the observation a complex dip lasting 4 hours is observed. We analyse the persistent emission detecting, for the first time in the 1st-order spectra o
Accretion flows toward black holes can be of a quite different nature, described as an optically thick cool gas flow in a disk for high accretion rates or as a hot coronal optically thin gas flow for low accretion rates, possibly affected by outflowi
We model an accretion disk atmosphere and corona photoionized by a central X-ray continuum source. We calculate the opacity and radiation transfer for an array of disk radii, to obtain the two-dimensional structure of the disk and its X-ray recombina
The mechanisms that drive disk winds are a window into the physical processes that underlie the disk. Stellar-mass black holes are an ideal setting in which to explore these mechanisms, in part because their outbursts span a broad range in mass accre
The rest-frame UV/optical variability of the quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82 is used to test the Corona-Heated Accretion-disk Reprocessing (CHAR) model of Sun et al. 2020. We adopt our CHAR model and the observed black-hole m
