X-ray spectral scaling of black hole mass in quasi-periodic eruptive source RX J1301.9+2747

Lev Titarchuk, Elena Seifina, Vadim Arefiev +2

We present a spectral and timing analysis of X-ray emission from the actively accreting supermassive black hole (SMBH) in RX~J1301.9+2747 with prominent quasi-periodic eruptions (Q…

Energy-independent X-Ray Polarization in 4U 1630-47 in the Intermediate State from Spectroscopy and Polarimetry

Elena Seifina, Lev Titarchuk, Paolo Soffitta +4

The IXPE mission enabled measurements of X-ray polarization in accreting binaries. The dependence of the X-ray polarization degree on the binary inclination and the optical depth o…

Linear Polarization in a Black Hole, 4U~1957+115 and its X-ray Spectral Analysis

Lev Titarchuk, Elena Seifina, Paolo Soffiitta +1

We present a new spectro-polarimetric method for estimation of the inclination of X-ray binaries using the linear polarization (LP) value in black hole (BH) sources, based on the e…

X-ray linear polarization prediction in Black-Hole binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei and its measurements by IXPE

Lev Titarchuk, Paolo Soffitta, Elena Seifina +3

We present a theoretical framework for the formation of X-ray linear polarization in black hole (BH) source. The X-ray linear polarization originates from up-scatterings of initial…

Accretion Flow Properties of Swift J1727.8-1613 and Estimation of the BH Mass

Dipak Debnath, Hsiang-Kuang Chang, Sujoy Kumar Nath +1

The rising phase of the 2023-24 outburst of the recently discovered bright transient black hole candidate Swift J1727.8-1613 was monitored by {\it Insight}-HXMT. We study the evolu…

Changing Look AGN: An X-ray Look

Lev Titarchuk, Elena Seifina, Yegor Mishin

To date, a number of changing-look (CL) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are known. We studied, in detail what happens to the X-ray spectrum during the CL events using the example of…
