A magnetized torus for modeling Sgr A* millimeter images and spectra
F. H. Vincent, W. Yan, O. Straub +2
Context. The supermassive black hole, Sagittarius (Sgr) A*, in the centre of our Galaxy has the largest angular size in the sky among all astrophysical black holes. Its shadow, ass…
Investigating the mass of the intermediate mass black hole candidate HLX-1 with the SLIMBH model
Odele Straub, Olivier Godet, Natalie Webb +2
In this paper we present a comprehensive study of the mass of the intermediate mass black hole candidate HLX-1 in the galaxy ESO 243-49. We analyse the continuum X-ray spectra coll…
The Low-Spin Black Hole in LMC X-3
James F. Steiner, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Jerome A. Orosz +4
Building upon a new dynamical model for the X-ray binary LMC X-3, we measure the spin of its black hole primary via the continuum-fitting method. We consider over one thousand ther…
Spectral signature of oscillating slender tori surrounding Kerr black holes
F. H. Vincent, G. P. Mazur, O. Straub +4
Context. Some microquasars exhibit millisecond quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) that are likely related to phenomena occuring in the immediate vicinity of the central black hole.…
