Spinning Between Models: Continuum and Reflection Constraints in the Intermediate States of GRS 1716-249 and GRS 1739-278

Tiffany Tausch, Paul A. Draghis, Erin Kara +7

Measurements of stellar-mass black hole spin probe accretion under strong gravity and constrain black hole formation and evolution. Intermediate states, in which thermal disk, coro…

AT2021yky: A Fast-Rising Optical Transient with Evolving Broad Hydrogen Emission Consistent with an Ambiguous Nuclear Transient

Paarmita Pandey, Jason T. Hinkle, Christopher Kochanek +14

Nuclear transients are powerful probes of supermassive black hole properties, offering insight into black hole mass, accretion physics, and the structure of galactic nuclei. Among…

Constraining black hole spin in PG 1535+547 amidst complex multi-layered absorption

A. Madathil-Pottayil, D. J. Walton, Jiachen Jiang +7

We present a spectroscopic analysis of XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations of the 'complex' NLS1 PG 1535+547 at redshift . These observations span three epochs: 2002 and 20…

The population of NuSTAR Black Hole X-ray Binaries

Paul A. Draghis, Jon M. Miller, Laura Brenneman +5

The spin of a black hole (BH) encodes information about its formation and evolution history. Yet the understanding of the distribution of BH spins in X-ray binaries (XBs), of the m…

Exploring the high-density reflection model for the soft excess in RBS 1124

A. Madathil-Pottayil, D. J. Walton, Javier García +13

'Bare' active galactic nuclei (AGN) are a subclass of Type 1 AGN that show little or no intrinsic absorption. They offer an unobscured view of the central regions of the AGN and th…
