XMM-Newton Resolves Parsec-scale X-ray Jets in the PeVatron Microquasar V4641 Sgr

Naomi Tsuji, Caterina Tresoldi, Kaya Mori +34

The microquasar V4641 Sagittarii (V4641 Sgr) has recently been established as one of the most powerful Galactic PeV cosmic-ray accelerators (PeVatrons) through the detection of deg…

Distinct Velocity Components in the Absorption Lines of the Neutron Star X-ray Binary AX J1745.6-2901

Kai Matsunaga, Maxime Parra, Yutaro Nagai +10

Accretion disks in X-ray binaries regulate mass transfer onto compact objects and drive radiative and kinetic feedback to their surroundings. Here we report X-ray spectroscopy of t…

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…

XRISM spectroscopy of a crowded Galactic center region -- I. Disentangling the sources in the field of view

Maxime Parra, Kai Matsunaga, Shifra Mandel +16

The Galactic center is a complex and crowded region hosting the supermassive black hole Sgr A*, numerous accreting compact objects, and diffuse X-ray emission. This paper presents…

XRISM spectroscopy of a crowded Galactic center region -- II. Narrow emission lines in the Black Hole candidate MAXI J1744-294/Swift J174540.2-290037

Maxime Parra, Shifra Mandel, Kai Matsunaga +13

Narrow, highly ionized X-ray emission lines in black hole low-mass X-ray binaries (BH-LMXBs) are rare and have been observed in only a few sources, during unusual, heavily obscured…

XRISM spectroscopy of a crowded Galactic center region -- III. S, Ar and Ca ISM Absorption Features in the spectrum of MAXI J1744-294

Efrain Gatuzz, Maxime Parra, Muhammet F. Hasoglu +7

We present a comprehensive study of X-ray absorption by sulfur (S), argon (Ar), and calcium (Ca) in the interstellar medium (ISM) along the line of sight to the low-mass X-ray bina…

A high-resolution X-ray view of the ultra-fast outflow in MAXI J1810-222

C. Pinto, M. Del Santo, A. D'Aì +10

In previous work, it was reported that the Galactic black hole candidate MAXI J1810-222 exhibited a notable absorption spectral feature at around 1 keV in low-resolution X-ray spec…

X-ray Spectroscopy of Disk Winds in Black Hole X-ray Binaries

Megumi Shidatsu, Maxime Parra

Powerful outflows along the accretion disk, known as disk winds, are sometimes launched in black hole X-ray binaries. These winds often manifest themselves in X-ray spectra as blue…

The strong Fe K line and spin of the black-hole X-ray binary MAXI J1631-479

Andrzej A. Zdziarski, Swadesh Chand, Gulab Dewangan +5

We study the transient black hole binary MAXI J1631--479 in its soft spectral state observed simultaneously by the NICER and NuSTAR instruments. Its puzzling feature is the presenc…

Probing Accretion Disk Winds of Stratified Nature with Fe XXVI Doublet in Black Hole X-ray Binaries

Keigo Fukumura, Shoji Ogawa, Atsushi Tanimoto +6

Powerful ionized accretion disk winds are often observed during episodic outbursts in Galactic black hole transients. Among those X-ray absorbers, \fexxvi\ doublet structure (Ly$α_…

The 2025 Failed Outburst of IGR J17091-3624: Spectral Evolution and the Role of Ionized Absorbers

Oluwashina K. Adegoke, Javier A. Garcia, Guglielmo Mastroserio +15

IGR J17091-3624 is the only black hole X-ray binary candidate, aside from the well-studied black hole system GRS 1915+105, observed to exhibit a wide range of structured variabilit…

A multiwavelength study of the Galactic center black hole candidate MAXI J1744-294

Shifra Mandel, Kaya Mori, Paul A. Draghis +37

For the first time in nearly a decade, a bright transient was detected in the central parsec (pc) of the Galaxy. MAXI J1744-294, or -- as it was known in its previous life -- Swift…
