High Resolution Spectroscopy
We will be analyzing a set of Chandra High Energy Transmission Gratings Spectra of the black hole candidate GRO J1655-40. The observation is discussed in Miller et al., 2008. The data were downloaded from the Transmission Gratings Catalog (TGCat). The adventurous can go and download the products from there directly (ObsId 5461), or you can grab a gzipped, tar file of the data from here.
