A Spectroscopic Angle on Central Engine Size Scales in Accreting Neutron Stars
Nicolas Trueba, J. M. Miller, A. C. Fabian +9
Analyses of absorption from disk winds and atmospheres in accreting compact objects typically treat the central emitting regions in these systems as point sources relative to the a…
A Redshifted Inner Disk Atmosphere and Transient Absorbers in the Ultra-Compact Neutron Star X-ray Binary 4U 1916-053
Nicolas Trueba, J. M. Miller, A. C. Fabian +8
The very small accretion disks in ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) are special laboratories in which to study disk accretion and outflows. We report on three sets of new (250 k…
Swift Spectroscopy of the Accretion Disk Wind in the Black Hole GRO J1655-40
M. Balakrishnan, J. M. Miller, N. Trueba +6
Chandra obtained two High Energy Transmission Grating (HETG) spectra of the stellar-mass black hole GRO J1655-40 during its 2005 outburst, revealing a rich and complex disk wind. S…
A Comprehensive Chandra Study of the Disk Wind in the Black Hole Candidate 4U 1630-472
Nicolas Trueba, J. M. Miller, J. Kaastra +4
The mechanisms that drive disk winds are a window into the physical processes that underlie the disk. Stellar-mass black holes are an ideal setting in which to explore these mechan…
Extinction and the Dimming of KIC 8462852
Huan Y. A. Meng, George Rieke, Franky Dubois +11
To test alternative hypotheses for the behavior of KIC 8462852, we obtained measurements of the star over a wide wavelength range from the UV to the mid-infrared from October 2015…
On a new theoretical framework for RR Lyrae stars II: Mid--Infrared Period--Luminosity--Metallicity Relations
Jillian R. Neeley, Massimo Marengo, Giuseppe Bono +14
We present new theoretical period-luminosity-metallicity (PLZ) relations for RR Lyrae stars (RRL) at Spitzer and WISE wavelengths. The PLZ relations were derived using nonlinear, t…
Observations of Field and Cluster RR Lyrae with Spitzer. Towards High Precision Distances with Population II Stellar Tracers
Massimo Marengo, Jillian R. Neeley, Giuseppe Bono +6
We present our project to calibrate the RR Lyrae period-luminosity-metallicity relation using a sample of Galactic calibrators in the halo and globular clusters.
