Summary
ABSTRACT We present the broad-band spectral analysis of all the six hard, intermediate, and soft state NuSTAR observations of the recently discovered transient black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1348−630 during its first outburst in 2019. We first model the data with a combination of a multicolour disc and a relativistic blurred reflection, and, whenever needed, a distant reflection. We find that this simple model scheme is inadequate in explaining the spectra, resulting in a very high iron abundance. We therefore explore the possibility of reflection from a high-density disc. We use two different sets of models to describe the high-density disc reflection: relxill-based reflection models, and reflionx-based ones. The reflionx-based high-density disc reflection models bring down the iron abunda
