4U1323-62

Abstract

4U1323-62 is a neutron star low mass X-ray binary with a short orbital period of 2.94h, showing X-ray dipping and type-I bursts. Previous XMM-Newton observations showed residuals hinting at highly ionized material in the disk. The low spectral resolution prevented constraining whether the absorbing material was static or outflowing. With an 80ks XRISM Resolve observation, we will conclude for the first time if there is a wind. We will study X-ray dips and the interplay of highly ionized and colder absorbers, disentangling their properties (e.g., column density, ionization, velocity). We will also investigate ``transient'' winds launched by radiative pressure from bursts. This will provide an overview of disk dynamics and plasmas and advance our knowledge of wind launching mechanisms.
