Self-Consistent Black Hole Accretion Spectral Models and the Forgotten Role of Coronal Comptonization of Reflection Emission
James F. Steiner, Javier A. Garcia, Wiebke Eikmann +4
Continuum and reflection spectral models have each been widely employed in measuring the spins of accreting black holes. However, the two approaches have not been implemented toget…
Normalizing a Relativistic Model of X-ray Reflection: The Definition of the Reflection Fraction and its Implementation in relxill
T. Dauser, J. Garcia, D. J. Walton +4
The only relativistic reflection model that implements a parameter relating the intensity incident on an accretion disk to the observed intensity is relxill. The parameter used in…
An XMM-Newton view of FeKα in HMXBs
A. Giménez-García, J. M. Torrejón, W. Eikmann +4
We present a comprehensive analysis of the whole sample of available XMM-Newton observations of High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) until August, 2013, focusing on the FeKα emission l…
Improved Reflection Models of Black-Hole Accretion Disks: Treating the Angular Distribution of X-rays
J. Garcia, T. Dauser, A. Lohfink +8
X-ray reflection models are used to constrain the properties of the accretion disk, such as the degree of ionization of the gas and the elemental abundances. In combination with ge…
X-ray reflected spectra from accretion disk models. III. A complete grid of ionized reflection calculations
J. Garcia, T. Dauser, C. S. Reynolds +4
We present a new and complete library of synthetic spectra for modeling the component of emission that is reflected from an illuminated accretion disk. The spectra were computed us…
