X-ray Reflection as Diagnostic of Supermassive Black Hole Binary Properties
Julie Malewicz, Tamara Bogdanović, David R. Ballantyne +2
We investigate correlations between prominent features in the relativistic X-ray reflection spectrum emitted by an accreting supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary with the underlyi…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
Picture an Astronomer: Best Practices for Retaining Talent in Astrophysics
Ava Polzin, Katherine E. Whitaker, C. Megan Urry +85
Women are consistently underrepresented in astrophysics yet are simultaneously subject to disproportionate attrition at every career stage. This disparity between demonstrated effi…
X-Ray Reflection Signatures of Supermassive Black Hole Binaries
Julie Malewicz, David R. Ballantyne, Tamara BogdanoviÄ +2
We investigate the presence of supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary signatures and the feasibility of identifying them through X-ray reflection spectra. The X-ray emitting region…
