In at least one case (probably all cases), coarsely phase-resolved spectra will be used to quantify the role of partial covering. At the same time, line diagnostics, in particular the iron transitions, can be exploited t Co-Is: 1 JULIAN OSBORNE LEICSESTER UK JULO@STAR.LE.AC.UK UK-116-2523598 2 MANABU ISHIDA ISAS JAPAN 3 MIKE WATSON LEICESTER UK Target Name PRI RA Dec Time TC Off GIS SIS_Cts Obs ------------------- --- -------- -------- ---- -- --- --- ------- --- V603 AQL 2 282.2250 0.5842 40 N Y P 1.00000 1
