Supplementary Information for "A 15.65 solar mass black hole in an eclipsing binary in the nearby spiral galaxy Messier 33"
Jerome A. Orosz, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Ramesh Narayan +8
This Supplementary Information provides details about the spectral extraction (crowding issues and the removal of nebular lines), a discussion about the distance to M33, a model fo…
A 15.65 solar mass black hole in an eclipsing binary in the nearby spiral galaxy Messier 33
Jerome A. Orosz, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Ramesh Narayan +8
Stellar-mass black holes are discovered in X-ray emitting binary systems, where their mass can be determined from the dynamics of their companion stars. Models of stellar evolution…
HST/NICMOS Observations of Fast Infrared Flickering in the Microquasar GRS 1915+105
Stephen S. Eikenberry, Shannon G. Patel, David M. Rothstein +3
We report infrared observations of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 using the NICMOS instrument of the Hubble Space Telescope during 9 visits in April-June 2003. During epochs of high…
The 2003 Outburst of the X-ray Transient H 1743-322: Comparisons with the Black Hole Microquasar XTE J1550-564
Jeffrey E. McClintock, Ronald A. Remillard, Michael P. Rupen +4
The bright X-ray transient H 1743-322 was observed daily by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) during most of its 8-month outburst in 2003. We present a detailed spectral analy…
Evaluating Spectral Models and the X-ray States of Neutron-Star X-ray Transients
Dacheng Lin, Ronald A. Remillard, Jeroen Homan
We propose a hybrid model to fit the X-ray spectra of atoll-type X-ray transients in the soft and hard states. This model uniquely produces luminosity tracks that are proportional…
