Super-hard X-Ray Emission from eta Carinae Observed with Suzaku
Akiko Sekiguchi, Masahiro Tsujimoto, Shunji Kitamoto +4
We present the Suzaku results of eta Carinae in the 5--50 keV range conducted twice around the apastron in 2005 August for 50 ks and in 2006 February for 20 ks. The X-ray Imaging S…
Spin and Relativistic Phenomena Around Black Holes
L. Brenneman, J. M. Miller, K. Nandra +13
Since the seminal work of Penrose (1969) and Blandford & Znajek (1977), it has been realized that black hole spin may be an important energy source in astrophysics. The radio-loud/…
Fundamental Accretion and Ejection Astrophysics
J. M. Miller, M. Nowak, K. Nandra +11
Disk accretion may be the fundamental astrophysical process. Stars and planets form through the accretion of gas in a disk. Black holes and galaxies co-evolve through efficient dis…
Stellar-Mass Black Holes and Their Progenitors
J. M. Miller, P. Uttley, K. Nandra +14
If a black hole has a low spin value, it must double its mass to reach a high spin parameter. Although this is easily accomplished through mergers or accretion in the case of super…
Swift X-ray and UV monitoring of the Classical Nova V458 Vul (Nova Vul 2007)
J. -U. Ness, J. J. Drake, A. P. Beardmore +18
We describe the highly variable X-ray and UV emission of V458 Vul (Nova Vul 2007), observed by Swift between 1 and 422 days after outburst. Initially bright only in the UV, V458 Vu…
