On the different flavours of Lense-Thirring precession around accreting stellar mass black holes
S. E. Motta, A. Franchini, G. Lodato +1
Type-C QPOs in X-ray binaries have been often interpreted as a consequence of relativistic Lense-Thirring precession around a spinning black hole and they potentially offer a way t…
Swift observations of V404 Cyg during the 2015 outburst: X-ray outflows from super-Eddington accretion
S. E. Motta, J. J. E. Kajava, C. Sánchez-Fernández +11
The black-hole binary V404 Cyg entered the outburst phase in June 2015 after 26 years of X-ray quiescence, and with its behaviour broke the outburst evolution pattern typical of mo…
Flux decay during thermonuclear X-ray bursts analysed with the dynamic power-law index method
J. Kuuttila, J. J. E. Kajava, J. Nättilä +5
The cooling of type-I X-ray bursts can be used to probe the nuclear burning conditions in neutron star envelopes. The flux decay of the bursts has been traditionally modelled with…
Constraining black hole spins with low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations in soft states
Alessia Franchini, Sara Elisa Motta, Giuseppe Lodato
Black hole X-ray transients show a variety of state transitions during their outburst phases, characterized by changes in their spectral and timing properties. In particular, power…
