The Disk Veiling Effect of the Black Hole Low-Mass X-ray Binary A0620-00
Wan-Min Zheng, Qiaoya Wu, Jianfeng Wu +15
The optical light curves of quiescent black hole low-mass X-ray binaries often exhibit significant non-ellipsoidal variabilities, showing the photospheric radiation of the companio…
Re-estimating the Spin Parameter of the Black Hole in Cygnus X-1
Xueshan Zhao, Lijun Gou, Yanting Dong +6
Cygnus X-1 is a well-studied persistent black hole X-ray binary. Recently, the three parameters needed to estimate the black hole spin of this system, namely the black hole mass $M…
Cygnus X-1 contains a 21-solar mass black hole -- implications for massive star winds
James C. A. Miller-Jones, Arash Bahramian, Jerome A. Orosz +23
The evolution of massive stars is influenced by the mass lost to stellar winds over their lifetimes. These winds limit the masses of the stellar remnants (such as black holes) that…
Relativistic X-ray jets from the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070
Mathilde Espinasse, Stéphane Corbel, Philip Kaaret +14
The black hole MAXI J1820+070 was discovered during its 2018 outburst and was extensively monitored across the electromagnetic spectrum. Following the detection of relativistic rad…
A New Likely Redback Millisecond Pulsar Binary with a Massive Neutron Star: 4FGL J2333.1--5527
Samuel J. Swihart, Jay Strader, Ryan Urquhart +7
We present the discovery of a likely new redback millisecond pulsar binary associated with the \emph{Fermi} -ray source 4FGL J2333.1--5527. Using optical photometric and spectro…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: Populations of Black Holes in Binaries
Thomas J. Maccarone, Laura Chomiuk, James Miller-Jones +9
Black holes in binary star systems are vital for understanding the process of pr oducing gravitational wave sources, understanding how supernovae work, and for p roviding fossil ev…
