Improved Correlation between the Variability and Peak Luminosity of Gamma-Ray Bursts
Li-Xin Li, Bohdan Paczynski
A new procedure for smoothing a gamma-ray burst (GRB) lightcurve and calculating its variability is presented. Applying the procedure to a sample of 25 long GRBs, we have obtained…

Estimating the Spin of Stellar-Mass Black Holes via Spectral Fitting of the X-ray Continuum
Rebecca Shafee, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Ramesh Narayan +3
We fit X-ray spectral data in the thermal dominant or high soft state of two dynamically confirmed black holes, GRO J1655-40 and 4U 1543-47, and estimate the dimensionless spin par…
