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…
The Low-Spin Black Hole in LMC X-3
James F. Steiner, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Jerome A. Orosz +4
Building upon a new dynamical model for the X-ray binary LMC X-3, we measure the spin of its black hole primary via the continuum-fitting method. We consider over one thousand ther…
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…
