Dense, multi-phase accretion disk atmosphere in the low-luminosity state of black hole transientV4641 Sgr
Zuobin Zhang, Rob Fender, James H. Matthews +11
We present soft X-ray spectroscopy of the black-hole X-ray binary V4641~Sgr with the \textit{XMM-Newton} Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS). The RGS spectrum shows narrow emissi…
Searching for Isolated Black Hole Candidates within 15 pc of the Solar System in Gaia DR3
Abdurakhmon Nosirov, Cosimo Bambi, Leda Gao +4
Theoretical models predict that the Galaxy hosts - black holes formed from the complete gravitational collapse of heavy stars and that most of these black holes are iso…
Assessing systematic uncertainties from spectral re-analysis of Cyg X-1 with different coronal geometries
Abdurakhmon Nosirov, Jiachen Jiang, Cosimo Bambi +1
In this work, we carry out a new spectral reanalysis of NuSTAR and Suzaku observations of the disk reflection spectra in the stellar-mass black hole X-ray binary Cyg~X-1. We compar…
Assessing the Power-Law Emissivity Assumption in X-ray Reflection Spectroscopy: A Simulation-Based Evaluation of Different Coronal Geometries
Songcheng Li, Abdurakhmon Nosirov, Cosimo Bambi +3
The emissivity profile assumed in X-ray reflection spectroscopy significantly impacts black hole spin measurements. Using simulated NuSTAR spectra generated for lamppost and disk-l…
Measuring black hole spins with x-ray reflection spectroscopy: A GRMHD outlook
Swarnim Shashank, Askar B. Abdikamalov, Honghui Liu +4
X-ray reflection spectroscopy has evolved as one of the leading methods to measure black hole spins. However, the question is whether its measurements are subjected to systematic b…
Probing the Strong Gravity Region of Black Holes with eXTP
Qingcui Bu, Cosimo Bambi, Lijun Gou +42
We present the novel capabilities of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission to study the strong gravity region around stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binary sys…
