Broad iron K-alpha emission lines as a diagnostic of black hole spin
Christopher S. Reynolds, Andrew C. Fabian
We address the ability of broad iron emission lines from black hole accretion disks to diagnose the spin of the black hole. Using a high-resolution 3-dimensional MHD simulation of…
Energetic Impact of Jet Inflated Cocoons in Relaxed Galaxy Clusters
John C. Vernaleo, Christopher S. Reynolds
Jets from active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the cores of galaxy clusters have the potential to be a major contributor to the energy budget of the intracluster medium (ICM). To study…
Alignment of the spins of supermassive black holes prior to coalescence
Tamara Bogdanovic, Christopher S. Reynolds, M. Coleman Miller
Recent numerical relativistic simulations of black hole coalescence suggest that in certain alignments the emission of gravitational radiation can produce a kick of several thousan…
Possible X-ray diagnostic for jet/disk dominance in Type 1 AGN
Barbara J. Mattson, Kimberly A. Weaver, Christopher S. Reynolds
Using Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer Seyfert 1 and 1.2 data spanning 9 years, we study correlations between X-ray spectral features. The sample consists of 350 time-resolved spectra f…
