The origin of emission and absorption features in Ton S180 Chandra observations
We present new interpretation of Ton S180 spectrum obtained by {\it Chandra}
Spectrometer (Low Energy Transmission Grating). Several narrow absorption lines
and a few emission disk lines have been successfully fitted to the data. We
have not found any significant edges accompanying line emission. We propose the
interpretation of narrow lines consistent with the paper recently written by
Krolik (2002), where warm absorber is strongly inhomogeneous. Such situation is
possible in so called multi-phase medium, where regions with different
ionization states, densities and temperatures may coexist in thermal
equilibrium under constant pressure. We illustrate this scenario with
theoretical spectra of radiation transfered through a stratified cloud with
constant pressure (instead of constant density) computed by code {\sc titan} in
plane parallel approximation. Detected spectral features are faint and their
presence do not alter the broad band continuum. We model the broad band
continuum of Ton S180 assuming an irradiated accretion disk with a dissipative
warm skin. The set of parameters appropriate for the data cannot be determined
uniquely but models with low values of the black hole mass have too hot and
radially extended warm skin to explain the formation of soft X-ray disk lines
seen in the data.Comment: accepted to Ap
