Caption: Figure 1.

A schematic of the Her X-1 system, showing the different regions producing emission lines of various velocity widths. The x-axis of the schematic is in logarithmic scale. For simplicity, the scheme omits the accretion disk wind (detected through its absorption lines), likely originating from the inner parts of the accretion disk atmosphere.
