Test for Echo: X-ray Reflection Variability in the Seyfert-2 AGN NGC 4388

B. Gediman, J. M. Miller, A. Zoghbi +4

We report on a study of the narrow Fe K line and reflection spectrum in the well-known Seyfert-2 AGN, NGC 4388. X-ray spectra summed from two extensive NICER monitoring campaign…

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Probing Accretion onto Stellar Mass Black Holes

Riley Connors, John Tomsick, Paul Draghis +20

Accretion is a universal astrophysical process that plays a key role in cosmic history, from the epoch of reionization to galaxy and stellar formation and evolution. Accreting stel…

Evidence of a Massive Stellar Disruption in the X-ray Spectrum of ASASSN-14li

J. M. Miller, B. Mockler, E. Ramirez-Ruiz +7

The proximity and duration of the tidal disruption event (TDE) ASASSN-14li led to the discovery of narrow, blue-shifted absorption lines in X-rays and UV. The gas seen in X-ray abs…

An Extreme Black Hole in the Recurrent X-ray Transient XTE J2012+381

Paul A. Draghis, Jon M. Miller, McKinley C. Brumback +3

The black hole candidate XTE J2012+381 underwent an outburst at the end of 2022. We analyzed 105 NICER observations and 2 NuSTAR observations of the source during the outburst. The…

The Spin of a Newborn Black Hole: Swift J1728.9-3613

Paul A. Draghis, Mayura Balakrishnan, Jon M. Miller +7

The origin and distribution of stellar-mass black hole spins are a rare window into the progenitor stars and supernova events that create them. Swift J1728.9-3613 is an X-ray binar…

The Black Hole Candidate Swift J1728.93613 and the Supernova Remnant G351.90.9

Mayura Balakrishnan, Paul A. Draghis, Jon M. Miller +12

A number of neutron stars have been observed within the remnants of the core-collapse supernova explosions that created them. In contrast, black holes are not yet clearly associate…
