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…
