Correlation between the photon index and X-ray luminosity of black hole X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei: observations and interpretation
Qi-Xiang Yang, Fu-Guo Xie, Feng Yuan +4
We investigate the observed correlation between the 2--10 keV X-ray luminosity (in unit of the Eddington luminosity; ) and the photon index () of the X-r…

A New Approach to Constrain Black Hole Spins in Active Galaxies Using Optical Reverberation Mapping
Jian-Min Wang, Pu Du, Yan-Rong Li +3
A tight relation between the size of the broad-line region (BLR) and optical luminosity has been established in about 50 active galactic nuclei studied through reverberation mappin…

Deep Spectroscopy of the Host Galaxy of a Tidal Disruption Flare in A1795
W. Peter Maksym, Melville Ulmer, Kathy Roth +5
A likely tidal disruption of a star by the intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) of a dwarf galaxy was recently identified in association with Abell 1795. Without deep spectroscopy f…
