ASCA Observation of the Galactic Jet Source XTE J0421+560 (CI Cam) in   Outburst
  We observed the newly discovered Galactic jet source XTE J0421+560 (= CI Cam) with ASCA from 1998 April 3.3 to April 4.1 (UT), three days after the beginning of the outburst. The X-ray intensity in the 1-10 keV band gradually decreased with an e-folding time of about 30 hours; the decline was accompanied by spectral softening. Two flare-like intensity enhancements were detected below 1 keV. We could fit the average spectrum above 0.8 keV with a two-temperature model (5.7 and 1.1 keV) of thermal emission from an optically thin ionization-equilibrium plasma. The broad iron-K profile, however, requires an extra emission line at 6.4 keV, or Doppler broadening (or both). The former can be explained in terms of reflection from cold matter, while the latter can be attributed to emission from the twin jets. In both cases, the time evolution of the emission measure and of the temperature are difficult to explain by emission from a single plasma, suggesting that heat input and/or injection of material was occurring during the outburst.
