Abstract

A series of RXTE Public ToO observations of the black hole candidate H1743-322 (ATel #1739, #1745, #1779) were performed on Oct. 3, 7, 8, 9 and 11. The broadband PCA and HEXTE spectra in the 3-200 keV range are well explained by a power-law with a photon index of 1.34-1.44, with a high energy cutoff at 83-94 keV, modified with Galactic absorption and smeared edge at 7.11 keV due to cold iron (instead of reflection component).
