Decoding Cygnus X-2: The Critical Role of Reflection in IXPE Data

Honghui Liu, Jiachen Jiang, Adam Ingram +10

We present a spectro-polarimetric re-analysis of the first IXPE observation of Cygnus X-2 which we determine to be mainly in the normal branch, from quasi-simultaneous observations…

DAO: A New and Public Non-Relativistic Reflection Model

Yimin Huang, Honghui Liu, Cosimo Bambi +4

We present a new non-relativistic reflection model, DAO, designed to calculate reflection spectra in the rest frame of accretion disks in X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei.…

X-ray reflection spectroscopy with improved calculations of the emission angle

Yimin Huang, Honghui Liu, Temurbek Mirzaev +10

The reflection spectrum produced by a cold medium illuminated by X-ray photons is not isotropic and its shape depends on the emission angle. In the reflection spectrum of an accret…

Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies Beyond the Local X-ray Universe: An X-ray spectral sample

Jiachen Jiang, Dominic J. Walton, Luigi C. Gallo +8

Narrow-line Seyfert 1 AGNs (NLS1s) represent a unique stage in the black hole growth history, characterised by low black hole masses of approximately - solar masses…

Impact of the returning radiation on X-ray reflection spectroscopy measurements: the case of Galactic black holes

Kexin Huang, Honghui Liu, Cosimo Bambi +2

The effect of the returning radiation has long been ignored in the analysis of the reflection spectra of Galactic black holes and active galactic nuclei and only recently has been…

About the accuracy of the relxill/relxill_nk models in view of the next generation of X-ray missions

Honghui Liu, Askar B. Abdikamalov, Temurbek Mirzaev +4

X-ray reflection spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study the strong gravity region of black holes. The next generation of astrophysical X-ray missions promises to provide unpreced…
