アブストラクト
K-line absorption features of highly ionized iron were discovered in X-ray spectra of super-luminal transient jets GRS 1915+105 and GRO J1655-40 with ASCA. The absorption lines were identified as Fe xxv Kα, Fe xxvI Kα, and Ni xxvII Kα resonance lines with equivalent width of 20-50 eV. They are evidence of highly ionized plasma in anisotropic configuration or in anisotropic illumination in the vicinity of the source. We adopted models of photoionized plasma with a cylindrical geometry, and estimated physical parameters such as density, dimension, solid angle from the source, temperature and ξ-parameter. It is suggested that the kinetic temperature of resonant scattering atoms is very high, at least 100 keV
