Abstract

The paper considers the characteristics of line emissions from binary X-ray sources and supernova remnants. X-ray spectroscopy of celestial X-ray sources can yield useful data on physical conditions and processes responsible for emission from binary X-ray sources; iron line emission at about 6.8 keV from many supernova remnants and X-ray binaries has been observed and the available data on iron line emission from Tycho, Cas A, and Her X-1 are discussed. Iron line emission from supernova remnants including source, distance, luminosity, continuum luminosity, and line feature to continuum ratio are presented, and the iron line intensity vs orbital phase of Her X-1 is depicted.
