X-ray Spectral States and High-Frequency QPOs in Black Hole Binaries
R. A. Remillard
The high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations in the X-ray emission of black hole binaries and candidates are briefly examined with respect to the question of X-ray states. We use…
The Rates of type I X-ray Bursts from Transients Observed with RXTE: Evidence for Black Hole Event Horizons
Ronald A. Remillard, Dacheng Lin, Randall L. Cooper +1
We measure the rates of type I X-ray bursts, as a function of the bolometric luminosity, from a likely complete sample of 37 non-pulsing transients (1996-2004). Our goals are to te…
Estimating the Spin of Stellar-Mass Black Holes via Spectral Fitting of the X-ray Continuum
Rebecca Shafee, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Ramesh Narayan +3
We fit X-ray spectral data in the thermal dominant or high soft state of two dynamically confirmed black holes, GRO J1655-40 and 4U 1543-47, and estimate the dimensionless spin par…
X-ray States of Black-Hole Binaries and Implications for the Mechanism of Steady Jets
R. A. Remillard
The three X-ray states of active accretion in black-hole binaries have been re-defined to focus attention on different physical elements that may contribute radiation: the accretio…
X-ray States of Black Hole Binaries in Outburst
R. A. Remillard
A brief review is given for X-ray properties of black hole binary systems. Topics include the effort to re-define the three states of active accretion, potential applications for g…
