Abstract (from CDS):

We report on observations of the neutron star (NS) residing in the low-mass X-ray binary 1RXS J180408.9-34205 taken 2015 March by NuSTAR and XMM-Newton while the source was in the hard spectral state. We find multiple reflection features (Fe {K}_α detected with NuSTAR; N vii, O vii, and O viii detected in the RGS) from different ionization zones. Through joint fits using the self-consistent relativistic reflection model relxill, we determine the inner radius to be <=11.1 R_ g_. For a 1.4 {M}_☉ NS with a spin of {a}_*=0 , this is an inner disk radius of \leqslant 22.2 km. We find the inclination of the system to be between 18° and 29°. If the disk is truncated at a radius greater than the NS radius, it could be truncated by a boundary layer on the NS surface. It is also possible that the disk is truncated at the magnetospheric radius; conservative estimates would then imply B\leqslant (0.31.0)×{10}^{9} G at the magnetic poles, though coherent pulsations have not been detected and the source is not identified as a pulsar.
