Constraining the Accretion Flow in Sgr A* by GR Dynamical and Radiative Modeling
Roman V. Shcherbakov, Robert F. Penna
We present the combination of dynamical accretion model based on 3D GRMHD simulations and general relativistic (GR) polarized radiative transfer. We write down the formalism of and…
Measuring the Spins of Stellar Black Holes: A Progress Report
J. E. McClintock, R. Narayan, L. Gou +3
We use the Novikov-Thorne thin disk model to fit the thermal continuum X-ray spectra of black hole X-ray binaries, and thereby extract the dimensionless spin parameter a* = a/M of…
High-energy particle acceleration at the radio-lobe shock of Centaurus A
J. H. Croston, R. P. Kraft, M. J. Hardcastle +19
We present new results on the shock around the southwest radio lobe of Centaurus A using data from the Chandra Very Large Programme observations. The X-ray spectrum of the emission…
