Abstract (from CDS):

We present the spectral analysis of an XMM-Newton observation of the X-ray binary 4U 1700+24, performed during an outburst in August 2002. The EPIC-PN spectrum above 1keV can be modeled by a blackbody plus Comptonization model, as in previous observations. At lower energies, however, we detect a prominent soft excess, which we model with a broad Gaussian centered at ∼0.5keV. In the high resolution RGS spectrum we detect a single emission line, centered at 19.19^+0.05_–0.09Å. We discuss two possible interpretations for this line: O VIII at redshift z=0.012^+0.002_–0.004 or Ne IX at redshift z∼0.4.
