Probing the near-horizon region of Cygnus X-1 with Suzaku and NuSTAR

Zuobin Zhang, Honghui Liu, Askar B. Abdikamalov +3

Astrophysical black holes are ideal laboratories for testing Einstein's theory of general relativity in the strong field regime. In this manuscript, we present an analysis of Suzak…

Testing General Relativity with NuSTAR data of Galactic Black Holes

Ashutosh Tripathi, Yuexin Zhang, Askar B. Abdikamalov +5

Einstein's theory of General Relativity predicts that the spacetime metric around astrophysical black holes is described by the Kerr solution. In this work, we employ state-of-the-…

Testing the Kerr Black Hole Hypothesis with GX 339-4 by a combined analysis of its thermal spectrum and reflection features

Ashutosh Tripathi, Askar B. Abdikamalov, Dimitry Ayzenberg +3

We analyze simultaneous observations with NuSTAR and Swift of the black hole binary GX 339-4 in which we clearly detect both a strong thermal component and prominent relativistic r…

Antisymmetric Cross-correlation between H I and CO Line Intensity Maps as a New Probe of Cosmic Reionization

Meng Zhou, Jianrong Tan, Yi Mao

Intensity mapping of the H I 21 cm line and the CO 2.61 mm line from the epoch of reionization has emerged as powerful, complementary, probes of the high-redshift Universe. However…

Robust Intensity Mapping Analysis against Foregrounds for the Epoch of Reionization

Meng Zhou, Jianrong Tan, Yi Mao

Intensity mapping of the HI 21 cm line and the CO 2.61 mm line from the epoch of reionization has emerged as powerful, complementary, probes of the high-redshift Universe. However,…

Modeling uncertainties in X-ray reflection spectroscopy measurements II: Impact of the radiation from the plunging region

Alejandro Cardenas-Avendano, Menglei Zhou, Cosimo Bambi

X-ray reflection spectroscopy is a powerful tool to probe the strong gravity region around black holes, but the available relativistic reflection models have a number of simplifica…
