Sketch of the process that generates twin MHD waves at the innermost radius of the accretion disc in an LMXB, which transports the waves along the magnetic field lines and radiates X-ray photons from the surface of the corona. The temperature and density are the same in the whole corona in steady radiation. The magnetic field lines are marked by the dotted black curves.
