Abstract
Context. X1822–371 is the prototypical accretion disc corona X-ray source, a low-mass X-ray binary viewed at very high inclination, thereby allowing the disc structure and extended disc coronal regions to be visible. As the brightest (closest) such source, X1822–371 is ideal for studying the shape and edge structure of an accretion disc, and comparing with detailed models.
