Condensed Matter Astrophysics: A Prescription for Determining the Species-Specific Composition and Quantity of Interstellar Dust using X-rays

Julia C. Lee, Jingen Xiang, Bruce Ravel +2

We present a new technique for determining the *quantity and composition* of dust in astrophysical environments using <6keV X-rays. We argue that high resolution X-ray spectra as e…

The accretion disk corona and disk atmosphere of 4U 1624-490 as viewed by the Chandra-HETGS

Jingen Xiang, Julia C. Lee, Michael A. Nowak +2

We present a detailed spectral study (photoionization modelling and variability) of the "Big Dipper" 4U 1624-490 based on a \chandra-High Energy Transmission Gratings Spectrometer…

Jet Suppression by Accretion Disk Winds in the Microquasar GRS 1915+105

Joseph Neilsen, Julia C. Lee

Stellar-mass black holes with relativistic jets, also known as microquasars, mimic the behavior of quasars and active galactic nuclei. Because timescales around stellar-mass black…

Solid State Astrophysics: Probing Interstellar Dust and Gas Properties with X-rays

Julia C. Lee, Randall K. Smith, C. R. Canizares +16

The abundances of gas and dust (solids and complex molecules) in the interstellar medium (ISM) as well as their composition and structures impact practically all of astrophysics. F…

Multi-Satellite Observations of Cygnus X-1 to Study the Focused Wind and Absorption Dips

Manfred Hanke, Joern Wilms, Moritz Boeck +4

High-mass X-ray binary systems are powered by the stellar wind of their donor stars. The X-ray state of Cygnus X-1 is correlated with the properties of the wind which defines the e…

Chandra X-ray spectroscopy of the focused wind in the Cygnus X-1 system. I. The non-dip spectrum in the low/hard state

Manfred Hanke, Joern Wilms, Michael A. Nowak +3

We present analyses of a 50 ks observation of the supergiant X-ray binary system Cygnus X-1/HDE 226868 taken with the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer (HETGS).…
