Measuring the Accreting Stellar and Intermediate Mass Black Hole Populations in the Galaxy and Local Group
Jonathan Grindlay, Didier Barret, Tomaso Belloni +23
The population of stellar black holes (SBHs) in the Galaxy and galaxies generally is poorly known in both number and distribution. SBHs are the fossil record of the massive stars i…
Evidence for a Black Hole Remnant in the Type IIL Supernova 1979C
D. J. Patnaude, A. Loeb, C. Jones
We present an analysis of archival X-ray observations of the Type IIL supernova SN 1979C. We find that its X-ray luminosity is remarkably constant at (6.5+/-0.1) x 10^38 erg/s over…
Signatures of Relativistic Helical Motion in the Rotation Measures of AGN Jets
Avery E Broderick, Abraham Loeb
Polarization has proved an invaluable tool for probing magnetic fields in relativistic jets. Maps of the intrinsic polarization vectors have provided the best evidence to date for…
The Pulsar Contribution to the Gamma-Ray Background
C. -A. Faucher-Giguere, Abraham Loeb
We estimate the contribution of Galactic pulsars, both ordinary and millisecond pulsars (MSPs), to the high-energy (>100 MeV) gamma-ray background. We pay particular attention to t…
The Event Horizon of Sagittarius A*
Avery E. Broderick, Abraham Loeb, Ramesh Narayan
Black hole event horizons, causally separating the external universe from compact regions of spacetime, are one of the most exotic predictions of General Relativity (GR). Until rec…
The Dynamic X-ray Sky of the Local Universe
Alicia M. Soderberg, Jonathan E. Grindlay, Joshua S. Bloom +35
Over the next decade, we can expect time domain astronomy to flourish at optical and radio wavelengths. In parallel with these efforts, a dedicated transient "machine" operating at…
