X-ray reverberation black hole mass and distance estimates of Cygnus X-1
Patrick O'Neill, Adam Ingram, Edward Nathan +4
We fit X-ray reverberation models to Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer data from the X-ray binary Cygnus X-1 in its hard state to yield estimates for the black hole mass and the distance…

Variability as a predictor for the hard-to-soft state transition in GX 339-4
Matteo Lucchini, Marina Ten Have, Jingyi Wang +17
During the outbursts of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs), their accretion flows transition through several states. The source luminosity rises in the hard state, dominated by non…
