The Incompatibility of Rapid Rotation with Narrow Photospheric X-Ray Lines in Exo 0748-676
X-ray observations of EXO 0748-676 during thermonuclear bursts revealed a set of narrow (Δλ/λ = 0.018) absorption lines that potentially originate from the stellar photosphere. The identification of these lines with particular atomic transitions led to the measurement of the surface gravitational re...
