On Neutral Absorption and Spectral Evolution in X-ray Binaries
J. M. Miller, E. M. Cackett, R. C. Reis
Current X-ray observatories make it possible to follow the evolution of transient and variable X-ray binaries across a broad range in luminosity and source behavior. In such studie…
Measuring the Spin of GRS 1915+105 with Relativistic Disk Reflection
J. L. Blum, J. M. Miller, A. C. Fabian +5
GRS 1915+105 harbors one of the most massive known stellar black holes in the Galaxy. In May 2007, we observed GRS 1915+105 for 117 ksec in the low/hard state using Suzaku. We coll…
Swift monitoring of Cygnus X-2: investigating the NUV-X-ray connection
E. S. Rykoff, E. M. Cackett, J. M. Miller
The neutron star X-ray binary (NSXRB) Cygnus X-2 was observed by the Swift satellite 51 times over a 4 month period in 2008 with the XRT, UVOT, and BAT instruments. During this cam…
Constraining the Spin of the Black Hole in Fairall 9 with Suzaku
S. Schmoll, J. M. Miller, M. Volonteri +6
We report on the results of spectral fits made to data obtained from a 168 ksec Suzaku observation of the Seyfert-1 galaxy Fairall 9. The source is clearly detected out to 30 keV.…
Relativistic Lines and Reflection from the Inner Accretion Disks Around Neutron Stars
E. M. Cackett, J. M. Miller, D. R. Ballantyne +6
A number of neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries have recently been discovered to show broad, asymmetric Fe K emission lines in their X-ray spectra. These lines are generally thoug…
The Fundamental Plane of Accretion Onto Black Holes with Dynamical Masses
Kayhan Gultekin, Edward M. Cackett, Jon M. Miller +3
Black hole accretion and jet production are areas of intensive study in astrophysics. Recent work has found a relation between radio luminosity, X-ray luminosity, and black hole ma…
