An Empirical Method for Improving the Quality of RXTE PCA Spectra
Javier Garcia, Jeffrey E. McClintock, James F. Steiner +2
We fitted all of the several hundred {\it RXTE} PCA spectra of the Crab individually to a simple power-law model; the total number of counts in the composite spectrum is . W…
The Low-Spin Black Hole in LMC X-3
James F. Steiner, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Jerome A. Orosz +4
Building upon a new dynamical model for the X-ray binary LMC X-3, we measure the spin of its black hole primary via the continuum-fitting method. We consider over one thousand ther…
The Mass of the Black Hole in LMC X-3
Jerome A. Orosz, James F. Steiner, Jeffrey E. McClintock +5
We analyze a large set of new and archival photometric and spectroscopic observations of LMC X-3 to arrive at a self-consistent dynamical model for the system. Using echelle spectr…
Modeling the Optical-X-ray Accretion Lag in LMC X-3: Insights Into Black-Hole Accretion Physics
James F. Steiner, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Jerome A. Orosz +4
The X-ray persistence and characteristically soft spectrum of the black hole X-ray binary LMC X-3 make this source a touchstone for penetrating studies of accretion physics. We ana…
