Ex Hya was observed by Suzaku for 91 sec on July 18, 2007 (obsid
402001010). The data was processed using version 2.0 of the
standard Suzaku pipeline software and the HEAsoft version 6.10.
We downloaded Ex Hya data from suzaku achive.

The source and background integration regions of the Ex hya images taken with XIS1 at the XIS-default
position (left) and the HXD-default position (right) on 2013 March 15. The background regions with a
size of 126 by 1024 pixels each are taken at the left and right ends of the chip for the XIS-default
position, and a source region with a size of 252 by 1024 pixels is taken at the side far from the Ex hya
image for the HXD-default position. The remaining source-integration region has a size of 768 by 1024
pixels.

Errors in our work were obtained using the XSPEC error command.
We modeled the spectrum using the absorbed bremsstrahlung
model with three gaussian lines for the Fe K emission lines. Since
we are primarily interested in the ion lines, our fitting covered 0 10.0 KeV for the XIS BI, 3.0 -12.0 KeV for the XIS FI and 15.0 40.0
KeV for the HXD PIN.
Energy below 3.0 KeV were ignored in the XIS FI and BI detector to
avoid intrinsic absorption which is known to affect data at this
energy range.
energy above 10 KeV were also ignored for XIS BI due to high
instrument background compared to the XIS FI detectors.
We resolved the neutral or low-ionized (6.41 keV), He-like (6.70
keV), and H-like (7.00 keV) lines.

A striking observation is the presence of strong Hlike and He-like emission lines detected at line
centroid energy of 6.7 and 7.0 KeV,
A detectable florescence of Fe XVIII-Fe XXIV lines
producing Fe K lines.
We assume that the observed continuum of Ex Hya
is that which drives the line emission.
Also, we assume that the observed reprocessed line
emission created in the photo-ionized medium is
completely unabsorbed but that of the
bremsstrahlung is absorbed along our line of sight.
With these assumptions, we deduced
