Broad-band spectral analysis of LMXB XTE J1710-281 with Suzaku

Abstract

This work presents the broad-band time-averaged spectral analysis of neutron star low-mass X-ray binary, XTE J1710-281 by using the Suzaku archival data. The source was in a hard or an intermediate spectral state during this observation. This is the first time that a detailed spectral analysis of the persistent emission spectra of XTE J1710-281 has been done up to 30 keV with improved constraints on its spectral parameters. By simultaneously fitting the XIS (0.6-9.0 keV) and the HXD-PIN (15.0-30.0 keV) data, we have modelled the persistent spectrum of the source with models comprising a soft component from accretion disc and/or neutron star surface/boundary layer and a hard Comptonizing component. The 0.6-30 keV continuum with neutral absorber can be described by a multi-colour disc blackbody with an inner disc temperature of $k{T}_{\mathrm{disc}}=0.28$ keV, which is significantly Comptonized by the hot electron cloud with electron temperature of $k{T}_{\mathrm{e}}\approx 5$ keV and described by photon index $\Gamma =1.86$. A more complex three-component model comprising a multi-colour disc blackbody $\approx 0.30$ keV, single temperature blackbody $\approx 0.65$ keV and Comptonization from the disc, partially absorbed (about 38 per cent) by an ionized absorber (log($\xi$) $\approx$ 4) describes the broad-band spectrum equally well.
