High Density Reflection Spectroscopy: II. the Density of the Inner Black Hole Accretion Disc in AGN
Jiachen Jiang, Andrew C. Fabian, Thomas Dauser +7
We present a high density disc reflection spectral analysis of a sample of 17 Seyfert 1 galaxies to study the inner disc densities at different black hole mass scales and accretion…
SIXTE -- The Generic X-ray Instrument Simulation Toolkit
Thomas Dauser, Sebastian Falkner, Maximilian Lorenz +8
We give an overview of the SImulation of X-ray TElescopes (SIXTE) software package, a generic, mission-independent Monte Carlo simulation toolkit for X-ray astronomical instrumenta…
The 2017 Failed Outburst of GX 339-4: Relativistic X-ray Reflection near the Black Hole Revealed by NuSTAR and Swift Spectroscopy
Javier A. García, John A. Tomsick, Navin Sridhar +12
We report on the spectroscopic analysis of the black hole binary GX 339-4 during its recent 2017-2018 outburst, observed simultaneously by the Swift and NuSTAR observatories. Altho…
A public relativistic transfer function model for X-ray reverberation mapping of accreting black holes
Adam Ingram, Guglielmo Mastroserio, Thomas Dauser +3
We present the publicly available model \textsc{reltrans} that calculates the light-crossing delays and energy shifts experienced by X-ray photons originally emitted close to the b…
Chandra X-ray spectroscopy of the focused wind in the Cygnus X-1 system III. Dipping in the low/hard state
Maria Hirsch, Natalie Hell, Victoria Grinberg +9
We present an analysis of three Chandra High Energy Transmission Gratings observations of the black hole binary Cyg X-1/HDE 226868 at different orbital phases. The stellar wind tha…
Testing the Kerr hypothesis using X-ray reflection spectroscopy with NuSTAR data of Cygnus X-1 in the soft state
Honghui Liu, Askar B. Abdikamalov, Dimitry Ayzenberg +4
We continue exploring the constraining capabilities of X-ray reflection spectroscopy to test the Kerr-nature of astrophysical black holes and we present the results of our analysis…
