Schematic drawings of suggested geometry of NS-LMXB in the soft state. Assuming MNS = 1.4 M⊙ and B = 2 × 108 G, (a) RA = 1.2 × 106 cm, (b) RA = 1.3 × 106 cm, and (c) RA = 1.5 × 106 cm corresponding to L = 20 × 1036, 15 × 1036, and 10 × 1036 erg s−1, respectively. The HR representing the solid angle of the Compton cloud changed between (a) and (b), while it stays constant in (b) and (c).
