Accretion Disk Spectra of the Ultra-luminous Compact X-ray Sources in Nearby Galaxies and the Super-luminal Jet Sources
Ken Ebisawa, Aya Kubota, Tsunefumi Mizuno +1
The Ultra-luminous Compact X-ray Sources (ULXs) in nearby spiral galaxies and the Galactic super-luminal jet sources share the common spectral characteristic that they have extreme…
Disk-corona interactions in soft spectral states of black hole binaries
Piotr T. Zycki
Re-analysis of some archival X-ray data of black hole binaries in soft spectral states is presented. Results of detailed spectral fitting, including proper physical description of…
An unstable inner disk in Cyg X-1 ?
Chris Done, Piotr T. Zycki
We present the first significant detection of relativistic smearing of the X-ray reflection spectrum from the putative accretion disk in the low/hard state of Cyg X--1. The ionizat…
On accretion flow in Soft X-ray Transients
P. T. Zycki, C. Done, D. A. Smith
We have analyzed archival Ginga data of a number of Soft X-ray Transient sources and modelled them in an attempt to constrain the geometry and physical properties of accretion. Our…
