The Mass of the Black Hole in the X-ray Binary Nova Muscae 1991
Jianfeng Wu, Jerome A. Orosz, Jeffrey E. McClintock +4
The optical counterpart of the black-hole soft X-ray transient Nova Muscae 1991 has brightened by mag since its return to quiescence 23 years ago. We present the f…
The Spin of The Black Hole in the X-ray Binary Nova Muscae 1991
Zihan Chen, Lijun Gou, Jeffrey E. McClintock +5
The bright soft X-ray transient Nova Muscae 1991 was intensively observed during its entire 8-month outburst using the Large Area Counter (LAC) onboard the Ginga satellite. Recentl…
VLT spectroscopy of the Black Hole Candidate Swift J1357.2-0933 in Quiescence
M. A. P. Torres, P. G. Jonker, J. C. A. Miller-Jones +3
We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy of the counterpart to the high-inclination black hole low-mass X-ray binary Swift J1357.2-0933 in quiescence. Absorption features from…
Detection of Rest-frame Optical Lines from X-shooter Spectroscopy of Weak Emission Line Quasars
Richard M. Plotkin, Ohad Shemmer, Benny Trakhtenbrot +10
Over the past 15 years, examples of exotic radio-quiet quasars with intrinsically weak or absent broad emission line regions (BELRs) have emerged from large-scale spectroscopic sky…
X-ray Insights into the Nature of PHL 1811 Analogs and Weak Emission-Line Quasars: Unification with a Geometrically Thick Accretion Disk?
B. Luo, W. N. Brandt, P. B. Hall +9
We present an X-ray and multiwavelength study of 33 weak emission-line quasars (WLQs) and 18 quasars that are analogs of the extreme WLQ, PHL 1811, at z ~ 0.5-2.9. New Chandra 1.5-…
Tomography of X-ray Nova Muscae 1991: Evidence for ongoing mass transfer and stream-disc overflow
Charith S. Peris, Saeqa D. Vrtilek, James F. Steiner +9
We present a spectroscopic analysis of the black hole binary Nova Muscae 1991 in quiescence using data obtained in 2009 with MagE on the Magellan Clay telescope and in 2010 with IM…
