The high energy universe at ultra-high resolution: the power and promise of X-ray interferometry
Phil Uttley, Roland den Hartog, Cosimo Bambi +24
We propose the development of X-ray interferometry (XRI), to reveal the universe at high energies with ultra-high spatial resolution. With baselines which can be accommodated on a…
Constraining the size of the corona with fully relativistic calculations of spectra of extended corona. I - the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code
Wenda Zhang, Michal Dovčiak, Michal Bursa
The size and geometry of the X-ray emitting corona in AGNs are still not well constrained. Dovčiak & Done (2016) proposed a method based on calculations assuming a point-like lamp-…
X-ray Reverberation Observational Modelling in Active Galactic Nuclei
M. D. Caballero-Garcia, M. Dovciak, M. Bursa +2
X-ray reverberation in Active Galactic Nuclei, believed to be the result of the reprocessing of coronal photons by the underlying accretion disc, has allowed us to probe the proper…
Super-Massive Black Hole mass estimation from bright flares
Vladimir Karas, Michal Bursa, Michal Dovciak +4
Super-Massive Black Holes reside in galactic nuclei, where they exhibit episodic bright flares due to accretion events. Taking into account relativistic effects, namely, the boosti…
The method of transfer functions to describe GR effects in spectra and polarisation from black-hole accretion disks
Vladimir Karas, Michal Bursa, Michal Dovciak
We briefly review a fruitful approach to compute a variety of radiation signatures of General Relativity (GR) originating from accretion disks in strong gravity. A set of transfer…
