Interpreting QPOs from Accreting Neutron Stars
M. Coleman Miller
The high time resolution and large area of the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer have been essential in the detection and characterization of high-frequency quasi-periodic variability in…
Revealing a Cool Accretion Disk in the Ultraluminous X-ray Source M81 X-9 (Holmberg IX X-1): Evidence for an Intermediate Mass Black Hole
J. M. Miller, A. C. Fabian, M. C. Miller
We report the results of an analysis of two XMM-Newton/EPIC-pn spectra of the bright ultraluminous X-ray source M81 X-9 (Holmberg IX X-1), obtained in snapshot observations. Soft t…
Sonic-Point and Spin-Resonance Model of the Kilohertz QPO Pairs
Frederick K. Lamb, M. Coleman Miller
KHz QPOs have now been detected in more than twenty accreting neutron stars in low-mass binary systems. Two kHz QPOs are usually detected in each star. Burst oscillations and two k…
Three-Body Encounters of Black Holes in Globular Clusters
Kayhan Gultekin, M. Coleman Miller, Douglas P. Hamilton
Evidence has been mounting for the existence of black holes with masses from 10^2 to 10^4 M_Solar associated with stellar clusters. Such intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) will…
Formation Scenarios for Intermediate-Mass Black Holes
M. Coleman Miller
Black holes with hundreds to thousands of solar masses are more massive than can be formed from a single star in the current universe, yet the best candidates for these objects are…
