The Behavior of Matter under Extreme Conditions
F. Paerels, M. Mendez, M. Agueros +29
The cores of neutron stars harbor the highest matter densities known to occur in nature, up to several times the densities in atomic nuclei. Similarly, magnetic field strengths can…
Chandra and Swift observations of the quasi-persistent neutron star transient EXO 0748-676 back to quiescence
N. Degenaar, R. Wijnands, M. T. Wolff +8
The quasi-persistent neutron star X-ray transient and eclipsing binary EXO 0748-676 recently started the transition to quiescence following an accretion outburst that lasted more t…
Initial Measurements of Black Hole Spin in GX 339-4 from Suzaku Spectroscopy
J. M. Miller, C. S. Reynolds, A. C. Fabian +6
We report on a deep Suzaku observation of the stellar-mass black hole GX 339-4 in outburst. A clear, strong, relativistically-shaped iron emission line from the inner accretion dis…
Relativistic iron emission lines in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries as probes of neutron star radii
Edward M. Cackett, Jon M. Miller, Sudip Bhattacharyya +6
Using Suzaku observations of three neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (Ser X-1, 4U 1820-30 and GX 349+2) we have found broad, asymmetric, relativistic Fe K emission lines in all…
Testing thermal reprocessing in AGN accretion discs
E. M. Cackett, K. Horne, H. Winkler
The thermal reprocessing hypothesis in AGN, where EUV/X-ray photons are reprocessed by the accretion disc into optical/UV photons, predicts wavelength-dependent time delays between…
Investigating the nature of absorption lines in the Chandra X-ray spectra of the neutron star binary 4U 1820-30
E. M. Cackett, J. M. Miller, J. Raymond +5
We use four Chandra gratings spectra of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1820-30 to better understand the nature of certain X-ray absorption lines in X-ray binaries, inclu…
