The "K-Correction" for Irradiated Emission Lines in LMXBs: Evidence for a Massive Neutron Star in X1822-371 (V691 CrA)
We study the K-correction for the case of emission lines formed in the X-ray-illuminated atmosphere of a Roche lobe-filling star. We compute the K-correction as a function of the mass ratio q and the disk flaring angle α using a compact binary code in which the companion's Roche lobe is divided into 105 resolution elements. We also study the effect
