X-ray and UV correlation in the quiescent emission of Cen X-4, evidence of accretion and reprocessing
F. Bernardini, E. M. Cackett, E. F. Brown +5
We conducted the first long-term (60 days), multiwavelength (optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray) simultaneous monitoring of Cen X-4 with daily Swift observations, with the goal of und…
SWIFT J1910.2-0546: A possible black hole binary with a retrograde spin or truncated disk
R. C. Reis, M. T. Reynolds, J. M. Miller +4
We present the first results from a long (51 ks) XMM-Newton observation of the Galactic X-ray binary Swift J1910.2-0546 in a intermediate state, obtained during its 2012 outburst.…
RATS-Kepler -- a deep high cadence survey of the Kepler field
Gavin Ramsay, Adam Brooks, Pasi Hakala +8
We outline the purpose, strategy and first results of a deep, high cadence, photometric survey of the Kepler field using the Isaac Newton Telescope on La Palma and the MDM 1.3m Tel…
Revisiting Putative Cool Accretion Disks in Ultraluminous X-ray Sources
J. M. Miller, D. J. Walton, A. L. King +4
Soft, potentially thermal spectral components observed in some ULXs can be fit with models for emission from cool, optically-thick accretion disks. If that description is correct,…
Chandra Spectroscopy of MAXI J1305-704: Detection of an Infalling Black Hole Disk Wind?
J. M. Miller, J. Raymond, T. R. Kallman +9
We report on a Chandra/HETG X-ray spectrum of the black hole candidate MAXI J1305-704. A rich absorption complex is detected in the Fe L band, including density-sensitive lines fro…
Swift Discovery of a New Soft Gamma Repeater, SGR J1745-29, near Sagittarius A*
J. A. Kennea, D. N. Burrows, C. Kouveliotou +10
Starting in 2013 February, Swift has been performing short daily monitoring observations of the G2 gas cloud near Sgr A* with the X-Ray Telescope to determine whether the cloud int…
The mass of the black hole in GRS 1915+105: new constraints from IR spectroscopy
D. J. Hurley, P. J. Callanan, P. Elebert +1
GRS 1915+105 has the largest mass function of any Galactic black hole system, although the error is relatively large. Here we present spectroscopic analysis of medium-resolution IR…
