Constraints on thermal conductivity in the merging cluster Abell 2146

A. Richard-Laferrière, H. R. Russell, A. C. Fabian +9

The cluster of galaxies Abell 2146 is undergoing a major merger and is an ideal cluster to study ICM physics, as it has a simple geometry with the merger axis in the plane of the s…

Vertical wind structure in an X-ray binary revealed by a precessing accretion disk

P. Kosec, E. Kara, A. C. Fabian +11

The accretion of matter onto black holes and neutron stars often leads to the launching of outflows that can greatly affect the environments surrounding the compact object. In supe…

AGN Feeding and Feedback in M84: From Kiloparsec Scales to the Bondi Radius

C. J. Bambic, H. R. Russell, C. S. Reynolds +3

We present the deepest Chandra observation to date of the galaxy M84 in the Virgo Cluster, with over 840 kiloseconds of data provided by legacy observations and a recent 730 kilose…

The long stare at Hercules X-1 -- I. Emission lines from the outer disk, the magnetosphere boundary and the accretion curtain

P. Kosec, E. Kara, A. C. Fabian +11

Hercules X-1 is a nearly edge-on accreting X-ray pulsar with a warped accretion disk, precessing with a period of about 35 days. The disk precession allows for unique and changing…

A Spectroscopic Angle on Central Engine Size Scales in Accreting Neutron Stars

Nicolas Trueba, J. M. Miller, A. C. Fabian +9

Analyses of absorption from disk winds and atmospheres in accreting compact objects typically treat the central emitting regions in these systems as point sources relative to the a…

Relativistic X-ray reverberation from super-Eddington accretion flow

Lars Lund Thomsen, Jane Lixin Dai, Erin Kara +1

X-ray reverberation is a powerful technique which maps out the structure of the inner regions of accretion disks around black holes using the echoes of the coronal emission reflect…
