Detailed analysis on the reflection component for the black hole candidate MAXI J1348-630
Nan Jia, Xueshan Zhao, Lijun Gou +7
The black hole candidate MAXI J1348-630 was discovered on January 26th, 2019, with the Gas Slit Camera (GSC) on-board \textit{MAXI}. We report a detailed spectral analysis of this…
Estimating the spin of the black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152 with the X-ray continuum-fitting method
Ye Feng, Xueshan Zhao, Lijun Gou +6
As a transient X-ray binary, MAXI J1659-152 contains a black hole candidate as its compact star. MAXI J1659-152 was discovered on 2010 September 25 during its only known outburst.…

Ye Feng, Xueshan Zhao, Yufeng Li +4
MAXI J1803-298, a newly-discovered Galactic transient and black hole candidate, was first detected by \emph{MAXI}/GSC on May 1st, 2021. In this paper, we present a detailed spectra…
Spectral Analysis of New Black Hole Candidate AT2019wey Observed by NuSTAR
Ye Feng, Xueshan Zhao, Lijun Gou +7
AT2019wey is a new galactic X-ray binary that was first discovered as an optical transient by the Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS) on December 7, 2019. AT2019wey consi…
Re-estimating the Spin Parameter of the Black Hole in Cygnus X-1
Xueshan Zhao, Lijun Gou, Yanting Dong +6
Cygnus X-1 is a well-studied persistent black hole X-ray binary. Recently, the three parameters needed to estimate the black hole spin of this system, namely the black hole mass $M…
Cygnus X-1 contains a 21-solar mass black hole -- implications for massive star winds
James C. A. Miller-Jones, Arash Bahramian, Jerome A. Orosz +23
The evolution of massive stars is influenced by the mass lost to stellar winds over their lifetimes. These winds limit the masses of the stellar remnants (such as black holes) that…
Estimating the black hole spin for the X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070
Xueshan Zhao, Lijun Gou, Yanting Dong +6
MAXI J1820+070 is a newly-discovered black hole X-ray binary, whose dynamical parameters, namely the black hole mass, the inclination angle and the source distance, have been estim…
A detailed study on the reflection component for the Black Hole Candidate MAXI J1836-194
Yanting Dong, Javier A. García, Zhu Liu +3
We present a detailed spectral analysis of the black hole candidate MAXI J1836-194. The source was caught in the intermediate state during its 2011 outburst by Suzaku and RXTE. We…
