X-rays From Magnetic Flares In Cygnus X-1: The Role Of A Transition Layer
Sergei Nayakshin, James B. Dove
The spectrum of Seyfert 1 Galaxies is very similar to that of several Galactic Black Hole Candidates (GBHCs) in their hard state, suggestive that both classes of objects have simil…

RXTE Observations of Cygnus X-1: Broad-Band Spectra and High-Resolution Timing
K. Pottschmidt, J. Wilms, M. A. Nowak +3
We present results from a 20 ksec RXTE observation of the black hole candidate Cyg X-1. We apply self-consistent accretion disk corona models to these hard state data and show that…

RXTE Observations of LMC X-1 and LMC X-3
J. Wilms, M. A. Nowak, J. B. Dove +4
Of all known persistent stellar-mass black hole candidates, only LMC X-1 and LMC X-3 consistently show spectra that are dominated by a soft, thermal component. We present results f…
