Combined first-order HEG spectrum of GX 340+0 from ObsID 1922, fit with a simple disk blackbody continuum. The top panel shows the spectrum and model (in red). The middle panel shows the data/model ratio. The bottom panel shows the significance of departures from the continuum, in units of Δχ2. The broad flux excess in the 5.5–6.5 keV range is likely a relativistically blurred Fe K emission line from the inner disk (see, e.g., D’Ai et al. 2009; Cackett et al. 2010). The absorption feature at 6.9 keV could potentially be H-like Fe XXVI (rest-frame energy: 6.97 keV) at a modest redshift, but it is more likely to be Fe XXV (rest-frame energy: 6.70 keV) at a blueshift of ∼0.04c.
