The Spin of the Black Hole Microquasar XTE J1550-564 via the Continuum-Fitting and Fe-Line Methods
James F. Steiner, Rubens C. Reis, Jeffrey E. McClintock +6
We measure the spin of XTE J1550-564 in two ways: by modelling the thermal continuum spectrum of the accretion disc, and independently by modeling the broad red wing of the reflect…
On Relativistic Disk Spectroscopy in Compact Objects with X-ray CCD Cameras
J. M. Miller, A. D'Ai, M. W. Bautz +11
X-ray charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are the workhorse detectors of modern X-ray astronomy. Typically covering the 0.3-10.0 keV energy range, CCDs are able to detect photoelectric a…
Multi-state observations of the Galactic Black Hole XTE J1752-223: Evidence for an intermediate black hole spin
R. C. Reis, J. M. Miller, A. C. Fabian +6
The Galactic Black hole candidate XTE J1752-223 was observed during the decay of its 2009 outburst with the Suzaku and XMM-Newton observatories. The observed spectra are consistent…
A reflection origin for the soft and hard X-ray excess of Ark 120
E. Nardini, A. C. Fabian, R. C. Reis +1
Over the last few years several models have been proposed to interpret the widespread soft excess observed in the X-ray spectra of type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGN). In particula…
Explaining the Hard Excesses in AGN
D. J. Walton, R. C. Reis, A. C. Fabian
A common model invoked to describe the X-ray spectra of active galaxies includes a relativistically blurred reflection component, which in some cases can be the dominant contributo…
