Spinning Between Models: Continuum and Reflection Constraints in the Intermediate States of GRS 1716-249 and GRS 1739-278
Tiffany Tausch, Paul A. Draghis, Erin Kara +7
Measurements of stellar-mass black hole spin probe accretion under strong gravity and constrain black hole formation and evolution. Intermediate states, in which thermal disk, coro…
XRISM Spectroscopy of Variable Accretion-driven Disk Winds in NGC 4151: When, Where, and How Fast Outflows are Launched
Xin Xiang, Jon Miller, Missagh Mehdipour +12
X-ray observations probe the inner accretion flow within active galactic nuclei, revealing the highest gas column densities and fastest winds. The most diverse winds yet revealed w…
Kinematically Resolving the Fe K Complex in Her X-1: The Accretion Disk and Ionized Wind Across X-ray Eclipses
Koh Sakamoto, Teruaki Enoto, Peter Kosec +8
We present XRISM/Resolve spectroscopy of Her X-1 across three X-ray eclipses observed in September 2024, resolving its iron K complex through the ingress, mid-eclipse, and egress p…
Dissecting the Nuclear Structure of NGC 5548 with XRISM. I. Physical Properties of the Highly Ionized Outflows
Missagh Mehdipour, Jon M. Miller, Jelle S. Kaastra +21
We present a detailed spectral analysis of an X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) observation of the prototypical Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548. XRISM's Resolve microcalorim…
X-ray Reflection as Diagnostic of Supermassive Black Hole Binary Properties
Julie Malewicz, Tamara Bogdanović, David R. Ballantyne +2
We investigate correlations between prominent features in the relativistic X-ray reflection spectrum emitted by an accreting supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary with the underlyi…
Black-Hole Spin Measurements from X-ray Reflection Spectroscopy: Quality Criteria and Community Recommendations
Javier A. Garcia, Riley Connors, Laura W. Brenneman +1
X-ray reflection spectroscopy provides one of the most powerful electromagnetic methods for measuring the dimensionless spin of accreting black holes. It has yielded spin constrain…
