The Mass Distribution of Stellar-Mass Black Holes
Will M. Farr, Niharika Sravan, Andrew Cantrell +4
We perform a Bayesian analysis of the mass distribution of stellar-mass black holes using the observed masses of 15 low-mass X-ray binary systems undergoing Roche lobe overflow and…
Jets at lowest mass accretion rates
Dipankar Maitra, Andrew Cantrell, Sera Markoff +3
We present results of recent observations and theoretical modeling of data from black holes accreting at very low luminosities (L/L_Edd ~ 10^{-8}). We discuss our newly developed t…
The Spin of the Black Hole in the Soft X-ray Transient A0620--00
Lijun Gou, Jeffrey E. McClintock, James F. Steiner +4
During its yearlong outburst in 1975--76, the transient source A0620--00 reached an intensity of 50 Crab, an all-time record for any X-ray binary. The source has been quiescent sin…
The Inclination of the Soft X-ray Transient A0620--00 and the Mass of its Black Hole
Andrew G. Cantrell, Charles D. Bailyn, Jerome A. Orosz +6
We analyze photometry of the Soft X-ray Transient A0620-00 spanning nearly 30 years, including previously published and previously unpublished data. Previous attempts to determine…
