On measuring the Hubble constant with X-ray reverberation mapping of active galactic nuclei
Adam Ingram, Guglielmo Mastroserio, Michiel van der Klis +8
We show that X-ray reverberation mapping can be used to measure the distance to type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs). This is because X-ray photons originally emitted from the `cor…
Spectral and Timing Analysis of NuSTAR and Swift/XRT Observations of the X-Ray Transient MAXI J0637-430
Hadar Lazar, John A. Tomsick, Sean N. Pike +10
We present results for the first observed outburst from the transient X-ray binary source MAXI J0637-430. This study is based on eight observations from the Nuclear Spectroscopic T…
Bhjet: a public multi-zone, steady state jet + thermal corona spectral model
M. Lucchini, C. Ceccobello, S. Markoff +7
Accreting black holes are sources of major interest in astronomy, particular those launching jets because of their ability to accelerate particles, and dramatically affect their su…
Modelling correlated variability in accreting black holes: the effect of high density and variable ionisation on reverberation lags
Guglielmo Mastroserio, Adam Ingram, Jingyi Wang +9
We present a new release of the RELTRANS model to fit the complex cross-spectrum of accreting black holes as a function of energy. The model accounts for continuum lags and reverbe…
The Nature of Soft Excess in ESO 362-G18 Revealed by XMM-Newton and NuSTAR Spectroscopy
Yerong Xu, Javier A. García, Dominic J. Walton +3
We present a detailed spectral analysis of the joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations of the active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the Seyfert 1.5 Galaxy ESO 362-G18. The broadband ($0…
Disk, Corona, Jet Connection in the Intermediate State of MAXI J1820+070 Revealed by NICER Spectral-Timing Analysis
Jingyi Wang, Guglielmo Mastroserio, Erin Kara +14
We analyze 5 epochs of NICER data of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 during the bright hard-to-soft state transition in its 2018 outburst with both reflection spectrosco…
Reflection Modeling of the Black Hole Binary 4U~163047: the Disk Density and Returning Radiation
Riley Connors, Javier García, John Tomsick +11
We present the analysis of X-ray observations of the black hole binary 4U~163047 using relativistic reflection spectroscopy. We use archival data from the RXTE, Swift, and NuSTA…
