XBT 0748-676 is a dipping LMXB source, with dips in X-ray intensity occurring at the orbital period of ~ 3.8 hrs. It is a member of the sub-group of dipping sources also including XB 1916-053 and XB 1254-690 in which the spectral evolution in dipping has previously been modelled by the “absorbed plus unabsorbed” approach, in which the dip spectra are modelled by two terms, each having the same form as used for non-dip emission, one of which is strongly absorbed but one which is not absorbed, which has a normalisation decreasing strongly in dipping. This energy-independent decrease has sometimes been taken to imply electron scattering in the absorber.
