Constraining Disk-to-Corona Power Transfer Fraction, Soft X-ray Excess Origin, and Black Hole Spin Population of Type-1 AGN across Mass Scales
Labani Mallick, Ciro Pinto, John Tomsick +6
Understanding the nature of the accretion disk, its interplay with the X-ray corona, and assessing black hole spin demographics remain open challenges in astrophysics. In this pape…
Detectability of Polarized Gamma-ray Emission from Blazar Flares with COSI
Garrett A. Latiolais, Jorge Otero-Santos, Michela Negro +18
We investigate the detectability of polarized gamma-ray emission from blazar flares with the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI). Using 17 years of Fermi Large Area Telescope ob…
Investigating MAXI J1752-457 with NuSTAR in the aftermath of a superburst
Sean N. Pike, Hitoshi Negoro, Douglas Buisson +5
We present two NuSTAR observations of the X-ray transient, MAXI J1752-457, following a superburst which was observed by MAXI/GSC in November, 2024. NuSTAR follow-up confirmed that…
A multiwavelength study of the Galactic center black hole candidate MAXI J1744-294
Shifra Mandel, Kaya Mori, Paul A. Draghis +37
For the first time in nearly a decade, a bright transient was detected in the central parsec (pc) of the Galaxy. MAXI J1744-294, or -- as it was known in its previous life -- Swift…
Depth Calibration of Double-sided Strip Germanium Detectors for the Compton Spectrometer and Imager Satellite
Field R. Rogers, Sean N. Pike, Samer Alnussirat +12
Double-sided strip high-purity germanium detectors with three-dimensional position reconstruction capability have been developed over three decades, with space-based applications i…
In-orbit Spectral Calibration Prospects for the COSI Space Telescope
Aravind B. Valluvan, Steven E. Boggs, Savitri Gallego +8
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager is an upcoming NASA space telescope in the MeV range. COSI's primary science goals include precisely mapping nuclear line and positron annihilat…
