X-ray Reflection from the Plunging Region of Black Hole Accretion Disks
Jameson Dong, Guglielmo Mastroserio, Javier A. Garcıa +3
Accretion around black holes is very often characterized by distinctive X-ray reflection features (mostly, iron inner-shell transitions), which arise due to the primary radiation b…
Tracking the X-ray Polarization of the Black Hole Transient Swift J1727.8-1613 during a State Transition
Adam Ingram, Niek Bollemeijer, Alexandra Veledina +120
We report on an observational campaign on the bright black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613 centered around five observations by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)…
Variability as a predictor for the hard-to-soft state transition in GX 339-4
Matteo Lucchini, Marina Ten Have, Jingyi Wang +17
During the outbursts of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs), their accretion flows transition through several states. The source luminosity rises in the hard state, dominated by non…
Discovery of X-ray Polarization from the Black Hole Transient Swift J1727.8-1613
Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri, Michal Dovciak +113
We report the first detection of the X-ray polarization of the bright transient Swift J1727.8-1613 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. The observation was performed at the…
Fundamental scaling relationships revealed in the optical light curves of tidal disruption events
Andrew Mummery, Sjoert van Velzen, Edward Nathan +4
We present fundamental scaling relationships between properties of the optical/UV light curves of tidal disruption events (TDEs) and the mass of the black hole that disrupted the s…
Investigating the impact of vertically extended coronae on X-ray reverberation mapping
Matteo Lucchini, Guglielmo Mastroserio, Jingyi Wang +9
Accreting black holes commonly exhibit hard X-ray emission, originating from a region of hot plasma near the central engine referred to as the corona. The origin and geometry of th…
