Thermal emission and line profiles from magnetized accretion disks

Observations of X-ray binary systems provide strong evidences of the existence of compact objects too massive to be explained by current neutron star models. When these systems are in the thermal (high/soft) state their emission spectra in the 0.1 − 5 keV range can be modeled by means of the thermal...
