Towards precision measurements of accreting black holes using X-ray reflection spectroscopy
Cosimo Bambi, Laura W. Brenneman, Thomas Dauser +14
Relativistic reflection features are commonly observed in the X-ray spectra of accreting black holes. In the presence of high quality data and with the correct astrophysical model,…
A hard look at local, optically-selected, obscured Seyfert galaxies
E. S. Kammoun, J. M. Miller, M. Koss +11
We study the X-ray spectra of a sample of 19 obscured, optically-selected Seyfert galaxies (Sy 1.8, 1.9 and 2) in the local universe (~Mpc), drawn from the CfA Seyfert…
Intensive disc-reverberation mapping of Fairall 9: 1st year of Swift & LCO monitoring
J. V. Hernández Santisteban, R. Edelson, K. Horne +33
We present results of time-series analysis of the first year of the Fairall 9 intensive disc-reverberation campaign. We used Swift and the Las Cumbres Observatory global telescope…
A Redshifted Inner Disk Atmosphere and Transient Absorbers in the Ultra-Compact Neutron Star X-ray Binary 4U 1916-053
Nicolas Trueba, J. M. Miller, A. C. Fabian +8
The very small accretion disks in ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) are special laboratories in which to study disk accretion and outflows. We report on three sets of new (250 k…
Broad-band X-ray observation of broad-line radio galaxy 3C 109
Sulov Chalise, Anne M. Lohfink, Erin Kara +1
We present a study of the central engine in the broad-line radio galaxy 3C 109. To investigate the immediate surrounding of this accreting, supermassive black hole, we perform a mu…
A dynamic black hole corona in an active galaxy through X-ray reverberation mapping
William N. Alston, Andrew C. Fabian, Erin Kara +18
X-ray reverberation echoes are assumed to be produced in the strongly distorted spacetime around accreting supermassive black holes. This signal allows us to spatially map the geom…
