Estimating the Spin of Stellar-Mass Black Holes via Spectral Fitting of the X-ray Continuum

Rebecca Shafee, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Ramesh Narayan +3

We fit X-ray spectral data in the thermal dominant or high soft state of two dynamically confirmed black holes, GRO J1655-40 and 4U 1543-47, and estimate the dimensionless spin par…
