The influence of gravitational microlensing on the X-ray spectral line profiles originated from a relativistic accretion disc has been studied. Using a disc model, we show that microlensing can induce noticeable changes in the line shapes when the Einstein ring radius associated with the microlens is of a size comparable to that of the accretion disc. Taking into account the relatively small size of the X-ray accretion disc, we found that compact objects (of about a Solar mass) which belong to the bulge of the host galaxy can produce significant changes in the X-ray line profile of AGN.

AbstractWe study the H NMR line shapes of a sample of a-Si:H under several conditions: 1) as grown, 2) light-soaked for 600 hours, and 3) light-soaked followed by annealing at different temperatures. At T = 7 K, the NMR line shape of the sample after light soaking exhibits an additional doublet compared to that of the sample as-grown. This doublet is an indication of a closely separated hydrogen pair. The distance between the two hydrogen atoms is estimated to be about (2.3 ± 0.2) Å. The concentration of these hydrogen sites is estimated to be between 1017 and 1018 cm-3 consistent with ESR measurements of the defect density after light soaking. This doublet disappears after the sample is annealed at 200°C for 4 hours.

Rapid ionization of Cs vapor in a heat pipe at 0.05 torr was achieved by pumping the 6s 2S½ – 7p 2P½ transition (f=0.007)1 with a flash-pumped dye laser at 4593.2A and I MW power output. Photoabsorptian initiated at the end of the laser pulse(≃ 0.5/s) showed the 5p5ns and nd series below and above the 5p52P3/2 threshold at 535.4A. Broad Beutler - Fano resonances appeared in the d series above threshold. The spectrum was recorded photographically on a 10.7m grazing incidence spectrograph using a continuum background generated by a BRV high-voltage spark source with a uranium anode. We will compare the line-shapes and the quantum defect (Lu-Fano2) plot with the predictions of a relativistic random phase calculation.
