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…
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…
Modeling the light curves of ultraluminous X-ray sources as precession
T. Dauser, M. Middleton, J. Wilms
We present a freely available xspec model for the modulations seen in the long-term light curves of multiple ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). By incorporating the physics of mul…
Cyclotron resonant scattering feature simulations. I. Thermally averaged cyclotron scattering cross sections, mean free photon-path tables, and electron momentum sampling
F. -W. Schwarm, G. Schoenherr, S. Falkner +11
Electron cyclotron resonant scattering features (CRSFs) are observed as absorption-like lines in the spectra of X-ray pulsars. A significant fraction of the computing time for Mont…
Athena Wide Field Imager Key Science Drivers
Arne Rau, Kirpal Nandra, James Aird +14
The Wide Field Imager (WFI) is one of two instruments for the Advanced Telescope for High-ENergy Astrophysics (Athena). In this paper we summarise three of the many key science obj…
The role of the reflection fraction in constraining black hole spin
T. Dauser, J. Garcia, M. L. Parker +2
In many active galaxies, the X-ray reflection features from the innermost regions of the accretion disc are relativistically distorted. This distortion allows us to measure paramet…
