Complete Multiwavelength Evolution of Galactic Black Hole Transients During Outburst Decay II: Compact Jets and X-ray Variability Properties

Tolga Dincer, Emrah Kalemci, John A. Tomsick +2

We investigated the relation between compact jet emission and X-ray variability properties of all black hole transients with multiwavelength coverage during their outburst decays.…

Magnetic Field Amplification and Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars

Xuhui Chen, Ritaban Chatterjee, Haocheng Zhang +10

We perform time-dependent, spatially-resolved simulations of blazar emission to evaluate several flaring scenarios related to magnetic-field amplification and enhanced particle acc…

Multi-Wavelength Coverage of State Transitions in the New Black Hole X-Ray Binary Swift J1910.2-0546

N. Degenaar, D. Maitra, E. M. Cackett +11

Understanding how black holes accrete and supply feedback to their environment is one of the outstanding challenges of modern astrophysics. Swift J1910.2-0546 is a candidate black…

The Mass of the Black Hole in LMC X-3

Jerome A. Orosz, James F. Steiner, Jeffrey E. McClintock +5

We analyze a large set of new and archival photometric and spectroscopic observations of LMC X-3 to arrive at a self-consistent dynamical model for the system. Using echelle spectr…

Modeling the Optical-X-ray Accretion Lag in LMC X-3: Insights Into Black-Hole Accretion Physics

James F. Steiner, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Jerome A. Orosz +4

The X-ray persistence and characteristically soft spectrum of the black hole X-ray binary LMC X-3 make this source a touchstone for penetrating studies of accretion physics. We ana…

The Black Hole Binary V4641 Sagitarii: Activity in Quiescence & Improved Mass Determinations

Rachel K. D. MacDonald, Charles D. Bailyn, Michelle Buxton +6

We examine ~10 years of photometric data and find that the black hole X-ray binary V4641 Sgr has two optical states, passive and active, during X-ray quiescence. The passive state…
