The 0.9 Megasecond XRISM/Resolve Spectrum of the Seyfert-1 AGN NGC 4151

Jon M. Miller, Xin Xiang, Missagh Mehdipour +13

NGC 4151 is the brightest Seyfert-1 active galaxy in the pass band of the Resolve calorimeter spectrometer aboard XRISM. It has been observed on 14 occasions, resulting in a total…

Exploring the spin dependence on mass inclination and distance for the newly discovered black hole X-ray binary Swift J151857.0-572147

Yujia Song, James F. Steiner, Tong Zhao +7

The black hole X-ray binary (BHXRB) Swift J151857.0-572147 was discovered during its first outburst in March 2024. We review the archive of NICER observations from this outburst, f…

The 2025 Failed Outburst of IGR J17091-3624: Spectral Evolution and the Role of Ionized Absorbers

Oluwashina K. Adegoke, Javier A. Garcia, Guglielmo Mastroserio +15

IGR J17091-3624 is the only black hole X-ray binary candidate, aside from the well-studied black hole system GRS 1915+105, observed to exhibit a wide range of structured variabilit…

Reprocessing from highly ionized gas in the soft spectral state of V4641 Sgr with NuSTAR

Riley M. T. Connors, Joey Neilsen, Aarran W. Shaw +6

V4641 Sgr is a low-mass black hole X-ray binary system with somewhat puzzling spectral characteristics during its soft state. Recent high-resolution spectroscopic studies of V4641…

Characterizing the Broadband Reflection Spectrum of MAXI J1803-298 During its 2021 Outburst with NuSTAR and NICER

Oluwashina Adegoke, Javier Garcia, Riley Connors +12

MAXI J1803-298 is a transient black hole candidate discovered in May of 2021 during an outburst that lasted several months. Multiple X-ray observations reveal recurring "dipping" i…

Self-Consistent Disk-Reflection Analysis of the Black-Hole Candidate X-ray Binary MAXI J1813-095 with NICER, Swift, Chandra, and NuSTAR

Santiago Ubach, James F. Steiner, Jiachen Jiang +5

We present our analysis of MAXI J1813-095 during its hard state ``stalled'' outburst in 2018. This self-consistent analysis has been carried out using \NICER, \Swift, \Chandra, and…
