Variability in black hole accretion discs
A. R. King, J. E. Pringle, R. G. West +1
Observations of accreting systems often show significant variability (10-20 percent of accretion luminosity) on timescales much longer than expected for the disc regions releasing…
Black Holes, Galaxy Formation, and the M_BH-sigma Relation
Andrew King
Recent X-ray observations of intense high-speed outflows in quasars suggest that supercritical accretion on to the central black hole may have an important effect on a host galaxy.…
Ultraluminous X-ray Sources and Star Formation
Andrew R. King
Chandra observations of the Cartwheel galaxy reveal a population of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) with lifetimes < 10^7 yr associated with a spreading wave of star formation w…
Black Widow Pulsars: the Price of Promiscuity
A. R. King, M. B. Davies, M. E. Beer
The incidence of evaporating 'black widow' pulsars (BWPs) among all millisecond pulsars (MSPs) is far higher in globular clusters than in the field. This implies a special formatio…
A Synoptic X-ray Study of M31 with the Chandra-HRC
Benjamin F. Williams, Michael R. Garcia, Albert K. H. Kong +4
We have obtained 17 epochs of Chandra High Resolution Camera (HRC) snapshot images, each covering most of the M31 disk. The data cover a total baseline of 2.5 years and contain a m…
A Variable Ultraluminous Supersoft X-ray Source in "The Antennae": Stellar-Mass Black Hole or White Dwarf?
G. Fabbiano, A. R. King, A. Zezas +3
The chandra monitoring observations of The Antennae (NGC 4038/39) have led to the discovery of a variable, luminous, supersoft source (SSS). This source is only detected at energie…
