The 2017 Failed Outburst of GX 339-4: Relativistic X-ray Reflection near the Black Hole Revealed by NuSTAR and Swift Spectroscopy
Javier A. García, John A. Tomsick, Navin Sridhar +12
We report on the spectroscopic analysis of the black hole binary GX 339-4 during its recent 2017-2018 outburst, observed simultaneously by the Swift and NuSTAR observatories. Altho…
High-Energy Astrophysics in the 2020s and Beyond
Christopher Reynolds, Robert Petre, Michael Corcoran +7
With each passing decade, we gain new appreciation for the dynamic, connected, and often violent nature of the Universe. This reality necessarily places the study of high-energy pr…
Probing the Black Hole Engine with Measurements of the Relativistic X-ray Reflection Component
Javier A. García, Matteo Bachetti, David R. Ballantyne +21
Over the last decades X-ray spectroscopy has proven to be a powerful tool for the estimation of black hole spin and several other key parameters in dozens of AGN and black hole X-r…
The 2018 X-ray and Radio Outburst of Magnetar XTE J1810-197
E. V. Gotthelf, J. P. Halpern, J. A. J. Alford +11
We present the earliest X-ray observations of the 2018 outburst of XTE J1810-197, the first outburst since its 2003 discovery as the prototypical transient and radio-emitting anoma…
Probing the Physical Properties of the Corona in Accreting Black Holes
Nikita Kamraj, Andrew Fabian, Anne Lohfink +3
The corona is a key component of most luminous accreting black holes, carrying 5 - 30 % of the power and in non-jetted Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), creating all the X-ray emission…
