Abstract

Interpretation of Quiescent Behavior of Iron K-Alpha (Fe Kand945) Emission Line from Sigma Gem

Highlights

  • Iron K-alpha (Fe K ) emission lines result when an electron transits to the innermost “K” shell from a 2p orbital of the second or “L” shell of atom releasing 6.4 keV of energy as florescence emission line photon [1]

  • Some high energy astrophysics software was used in analyzing data in this research, these are XSELECT, XSPEC

  • For the bremsstrahlung fit parameter in the flare period it shows that the continuum temperature (KT) is 54±0.28,the power law photon index was not found while the photon count (F count) is 0.8±0.01

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Iron K-alpha (Fe K ) emission lines result when an electron transits to the innermost “K” shell (principal quantum number 1) from a 2p orbital of the second or “L” shell (with principal quantum number 2) of atom releasing 6.4 keV of energy as florescence emission line photon [1]. The thermal origin of the X-ray emission from galaxy clusters was resolved with the detection of the 6.7 keV iron line in their X-ray Spectra [2]. An example of K-alpha lines is those seen for iron as iron atoms radiating X-rays spirall into a black hole at the center of a galaxy. For such purpose the energy, E of the line is adequately calculated to 2-digit accuracy by the use of Moseley’s law:. From the analysis of the K emission spectra, basic physical properties within the emitting region can be deduced, such as temperatures, densities, excitation conditions, ionization balance, elemental abundances and electric - and magnetic field distributions [7,8]
