An Obscured, Seyfert-2-like State of the Stellar-mass Black Hole GRS 1915+105 Caused by Failed Disk Winds

J. M. Miller, A. Zoghbi, J. Raymond +13

We report on Chandra gratings spectra of the stellar-mass black hole GRS 1915+105 obtained during a novel, highly obscured state. As the source entered this state, a dense, massive…

The Accretion Disk Wind in the Black Hole GRS 1915+105

J. M. Miller, J. Raymond, A. C. Fabian +7

We report on a 120 ks Chandra/HETG spectrum of the black hole GRS 1915+105. The observation was made during an extended and bright soft state in June, 2015. An extremely rich disk…

Low X-ray Luminosity Galaxy Clusters. III: Weak Lensing Mass Determination at 0.18 z 0.70

Elizabeth Johana Gonzalez, Gael Foëx, José Luis Nilo Castellón +5

This is the third of a series of papers of low X-ray luminosity galaxy clusters. In this work we present the weak lensing analysis of eight clusters, based on observations obtained…

Shell-Shocked: The Interstellar Medium Near Cygnus X-1

P. H. Sell, S. Heinz, E. Richards +6

We conduct a detailed case-study of the interstellar shell near the high-mass X-ray binary, Cygnus X-1. We present new WIYN optical spectroscopic and Chandra X-ray observations of…

Observational constraints on the powering mechanism of transient relativistic jets

D. M. Russell, E. Gallo, R. P. Fender

We revisit the paradigm of the dependency of jet power on black hole spin in accreting black hole systems. In a previous paper we showed that the luminosity of compact jets continu…

The black hole candidate XTE J1752-223 towards and in quiescence: optical and simultaneous X-ray - radio observations

E. M. Ratti, P. G. Jonker, J. C. A. Miller-Jones +10

We present optical, X-ray and radio observations of the black hole transient (BHT) XTE J1752-223 towards and in quiescence. Optical photometry shows that the quiescent magnitude of…
