The Spin of a Newborn Black Hole: Swift J1728.9-3613
Paul A. Draghis, Mayura Balakrishnan, Jon M. Miller +7
The origin and distribution of stellar-mass black hole spins are a rare window into the progenitor stars and supernova events that create them. Swift J1728.9-3613 is an X-ray binar…
A Systematic View of Ten New Black Hole Spins
Paul A. Draghis, Jon M. Miller, Abderahmen Zoghbi +4
The launch of NuSTAR and the increasing number of binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected through gravitational wave (GW) observations have exponentially advanced our understandin…
A Spectroscopic Angle on Central Engine Size Scales in Accreting Neutron Stars
Nicolas Trueba, J. M. Miller, A. C. Fabian +9
Analyses of absorption from disk winds and atmospheres in accreting compact objects typically treat the central emitting regions in these systems as point sources relative to the a…
The Spin and Orientation of the Black Hole in XTE J1908094
Paul A. Draghis, Jon M. Miller, Abderahmen Zoghbi +3
NuSTAR observed the black hole candidate XTE J1908094 during its 2013 and 2019 outbursts. We use relativistic reflection to measure the spin of the black hole through 19 differe…
The Inner Accretion Flow in the Resurgent Seyfert-1.2 AGN Mrk 817
J. M. Miller, Z. Zoghbi, M. T. Reynolds +10
Accretion disks and coronae around massive black holes have been studied extensively, and they are known to be coupled. Over a period of 30 years, however, the X-ray (coronal) flux…
A Hard Look At Relativistic Reverberation in MCG-5-23-16 & SWIFT J2127.4+5654: Testing the Lamp-Post Model
A. Zoghbi, J. M. Miller, E. Cackett
X-ray reverberation mapping has emerged as a new tool to probe accretion in AGN, providing a potentially powerful probe of accretion at the black hole scale. The lags, along with r…
