This work presents the broad-band time-averaged spectral analysis of neutron star low-mass X-ray binary , XTE J1710-281 by using the Suzaku archival data .
The source was in a hard or an intermediate spectral state during this observation .
This is the first time that a detailed spectral analysis of the persistent emission spectra of XTE J1710-281 has been done up to 30 keV with improved constraints on its spectral parameters .
By simultaneously fitting the XIS ( 0.6–9.0 keV ) and the HXD-PIN ( 15.0–30.0 keV ) data , we have modelled the persistent spectrum of the source with models comprising a soft component from accretion disc and/or neutron star surface/boundary layer and a hard Comptonizing component .
The 0.6–30 keV continuum with neutral absorber can be described by a multi-colour disc blackbody with an inner disc temperature of kT _ { disc } = 0.28 keV , which is significantly Comptonized by the hot electron cloud with electron temperature of kT _ { e } \approx 5 keV and described by photon index \Gamma = 1.86 .
A more complex three-component model comprising a multi-colour disc blackbody \approx 0.30 keV , single temperature blackbody \approx 0.65 keV and Comptonization from the disc , partially absorbed ( about 38 per cent ) by an ionized absorber ( log ( \xi ) \approx 4 ) describes the broad-band spectrum equally well .
