An Isolated Stellar-Mass Black Hole Detected Through Astrometric Microlensing
Kailash C. Sahu, Jay Anderson, Stefano Casertano +90
We report the first unambiguous detection and mass measurement of an isolated stellar-mass black hole (BH). We used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to carry out precise astrometry…
Broadband X-ray analysis of 1E 1740.7-2942: constraints on spin, inclination and a tentative black hole mass
Paulo E. Stecchini, Flavio D'Amico, Francisco Jablonski +2
1E 1740.7-2942 is one of the strongest hard X-ray emitters in the Galactic Centre region, believed to be a black hole in a high-mass X-ray binary system. Although extensively studi…
Orbital period variation of KIC 10544976: Applegate mechanism versus light travel time effect
Leonardo A. Almeida, Leandro de Almeida, Augusto Damineli +6
In recent years, several close post-common-envelope eclipsing binaries have been found to show cyclic eclipse timing variations (ETVs). This effect is usually interpreted either as…
Mirax: A Brazilian X-Ray Astronomy Satellite Mission
J. Braga, R. Rothschild, J. Heise +9
We describe the ``Monitor e Imageador de Raios-X'' (MIRAX), an X-ray astronomy satellite mission proposed by the high energy astrophysics group at the National Institute for Space…
