In conclusion we propose the following: Doppler Lines in the Ultra-compact Binary 4U1626-67 The light curve before torque reversal is featureless. The light curve after torque reversal shows enhance variability which includes type II flaring, intensity dips, and periods of quiescence. The X-ray flux at the time of the observation in 2009 is at about the same level as it was in 1994. The X-ray continuum after torque reversal is fit by the same spectrum as before, however with a higher blackbody temperature and a smaller emission radius. The spectrum shows a narrow Fe K fluorescence line, which was not observed before torque reversal. A photo-ionized plasma cannot fit the Ne and O Doppler line emissions. The large ratio between the Ne X Lα line and the upper limit to the Ne X Lβ line rules out significant contributions due to resonance scattering. A collisions ionized plasma fits both Ne and O line ratios very well with enhanced plasma densities and plasma temperature between 1 MK and 10 MK. Magnetospheric Accretion Shocks
