Science of High Resolution X-ray Imaging
H. L. Marshall, K. Weaver, M. Schattenburg +34
This report summarizes potential studies of the Hi-ReX Science Analysis Group for an Ultra-High Angular Resolution X-ray Observatory. Many potential science cases are presented, sp…
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…
The Novel Obscured State of Stellar-mass Black Hole GRS 1915+105
Mayura Balakrishnan, J. M. Miller, M. T. Reynolds +3
GRS 1915105 is a stellar-mass black hole that is well known for exhibiting at least 12 distinct classes of X-ray variability and correlated multi-wavelength behavior. Despite su…
An Obscured, Seyfert-2-like State of the Stellar-mass Black Hole GRS 1915+105 Caused by Failed Disk Winds
J. M. Miller, A. Zoghbi, J. Raymond +13
We report on Chandra gratings spectra of the stellar-mass black hole GRS 1915+105 obtained during a novel, highly obscured state. As the source entered this state, a dense, massive…
Swift Spectroscopy of the Accretion Disk Wind in the Black Hole GRO J1655-40
M. Balakrishnan, J. M. Miller, N. Trueba +6
Chandra obtained two High Energy Transmission Grating (HETG) spectra of the stellar-mass black hole GRO J1655-40 during its 2005 outburst, revealing a rich and complex disk wind. S…
