Abstract:

We propose a sequence of 10 18-ks observations of the wind-fed accreting X-ray pulsar SMC X-1. Distributed throughout the orbital and super-orbital period of this high-mass X-ray binary, our proposed observations will reveal the influence of wind accretion on the structure and evolution of accretion disks via three independent methods: (1) mapping the geometry of the accretion flow through soft X-ray emission line variability and ionization studies, (2) tracing the structure of the accretion disk corona with hard X-ray scattering studies, and (3) tracking the evolution of the neutron star spin period and pulse profile for comparison to changes in the warped, precessing accretion disk.
