Spectra from the three Chandra observations of Her X-1 high state, focusing on the Fe K band. The data are fitted with a simple spectral model consisting of a power law plus two Gaussians, shown in blue. The red dashed lines show the positions of Fe I (6.4 keV) and Fe XXV (6.67 keV) transitions. The super-orbital phase ϕ of each Chandra observation is given below its ID.
