On the Origin of Spectral Features Observed during Thermonuclear X-Ray Bursts and in the Aftermath Emission of a Long Burst from 4U 1820–30

On the Origin of Spectral Features Observed during Thermonuclear X-Ray Bursts and in the Aftermath Emission of a Long Burst from 4U 1820–30

We study 15 thermonuclear X-ray bursts from 4U 1820–30 observed with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER). We find evidence of a narrow emission line at 1.0 keV and three absorption lines at 1.7, 3.0, and 3.75 keV, primarily around the photospheric radius expansion phase of most bu...
