Echo Tomography is a powerful technique which enables us to probe the accretion geometry in active LMXBs by studying reprocessing of X-rays into UV/optical...
Echo Tomography of Sco X-1 using Bowen Fluorescence Lines
We present preliminary results of a simultaneous X-ray/optical campaign of the proto-typical LMXB Sco X-1 at 1-10 Hz time resolution. Lightcurves of the high...
