Flows of X-ray gas reveal the disruption of a star by a massive black hole
Jon M. Miller, Jelle S. Kaastra, M. Coleman Miller +18
Tidal forces close to massive black holes can violently disrupt stars that make a close approach. These extreme events are discovered via bright X-ray and optical/UV flares in gala…
High Resolution Chandra HETG spectroscopy of V404 Cygni in Outburst
Ashley L. King, Jon M. Miller, John Raymond +2
As one of the best-characterized stellar-mass black holes, with good measurements of its mass, distance and inclination, V404 Cyg is the ideal candidate to study Eddington-limited…
The Swift X-ray monitoring campaign of the center of the Milky Way
N. Degenaar, R. Wijnands, J. M. Miller +3
In 2006 February, shortly after its launch, Swift began monitoring the center of the Milky Way with the onboard X-Ray Telescope using short 1-ks exposures performed every 1-4 days.…
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…
A Dynamical Study of the Black Hole X-ray Binary Nova Muscae 1991
Jianfeng Wu, Jerome A. Orosz, Jeffrey E. McClintock +8
We present a dynamical study of the Galactic black hole binary system Nova Muscae 1991 (GS/GRS 1124-683). We utilize 72 high resolution Magellan Echellette (MagE) spectra and 72 st…
