XRISM XTEND observation 903002010

Title

Abstract

"Understanding the triggers of accretion state transitions is a fundamental goal across compact accreting systems (CVs, X-ray binaries, and AGNs). To solve this question, observing the change in accretion structure is indispensable. High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of Fe I fluorescent lines serves as a primary probe of accretion geometry via reflection off cold gas. Cataclysmic variables (CVs) are ideal laboratories for isolating these reflection features because they are unaffected by general relativistic distortions or extreme relativistic outflows. However, complex multi-component line profiles have hindered interpretation across XRISM CV targets, with clear state-dependent modeling achieved only in the non-magnetic CV SS Cyg (Ishida et al. 2026)."
