Evolution of the accretion disk-corona during bright hard-to-soft state transition: A reflection spectroscopic study with GX 339-4

Navin Sridhar, Javier A. García, James F. Steiner +3

We present the analysis of several observations of the black hole binary GX 339--4 during its bright intermediate states from two different outbursts (2002 and 2004), as observed b…

Relativistic reflection and reverberation in GX 339-4 with NICER and NuSTAR

Jingyi Wang, Erin Kara, James Steiner +8

We analyze seven NICER and NuSTAR epochs of the black hole X-ray binary GX 339-4 in the hard state during its two most recent hard-only outbursts in 2017 and 2019. These observatio…

Astro2020 Science White Paper: Compact Stellar Jets

Thomas J. Maccarone, Elena Gallo, Sebastian Heinz +9

This paper outlines the importance of understanding jets from compact binaries for the problem of understanding the broader phenomenology of jet production. Because X-ray binaries…
