Estimating the Spins of Stellar-Mass Black Holes by Fitting Their Continuum Spectra
Ramesh Narayan, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Rebecca Shafee
We have used the Novikov-Thorne thin disk model to fit the continuum X-ray spectra of three transient black hole X-ray binaries in the thermal state. From the fits we estimate the…
Supplementary Information for "A 15.65 solar mass black hole in an eclipsing binary in the nearby spiral galaxy Messier 33"
Jerome A. Orosz, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Ramesh Narayan +8
This Supplementary Information provides details about the spectral extraction (crowding issues and the removal of nebular lines), a discussion about the distance to M33, a model fo…
Estimating the Spins of Stellar-Mass Black Holes
Jeffrey E. McClintock, Ramesh Narayan, Rebecca Shafee
We describe a program that we have embarked on to estimate the spins of stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries. We fit the continuum X-ray spectrum of the radiation from the ac…
Black Hole Binaries
Jeffrey E. McClintock, Ronald A. Remillard
We review the properties of 40 X-ray binaries that contain either a confirmed black hole or a black hole candidate. After discussing briefly the significance of these Galactic blac…
X-ray QPOs in Black-Hole Binary Systems
Ronald A. Remillard, Michael P. Muno, Jeffrey E. McClintock +1
We briefly review the properties and physical consequences of quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) seen on many occasions in the X-ray emission from black-hole binary systems. We also…
Chandra and RXTE Observations of X-ray Novae
Jeffrey E. McClintock
We discuss new observations of X-ray novae with Chandra which provide strong evidence that black holes have event horizons. The evidence is based on the finding that black hole X-r…
