Constraints on the electromagnetic counterpart of the Neutron Star Black Hole merger GW200115

S. Dichiara, R. L. Becerra, E. A. Chase +10

We report the results of our follow-up campaign for the neutron star - black hole (NSBH) merger GW200115 detected during the O3 run of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detector…

Fitting strategies of accretion column models and application to the broadband spectrum of Cen X-3

Philipp Thalhammer, Matthias Bissinger, Ralf Ballhausen +10

Due to the complexity of modeling the radiative transfer inside the accretion columns of neutron star binaries, their X-ray spectra are still commonly described with phenomenologic…

A Rapidly Varying Red Supergiant X-Ray Binary in the Galactic Center

Amy M. Gottlieb, Stephen S. Eikenberry, Kendall Ackley +2

We analyzed multiwavelength observations of the previously identified Galactic center X-ray binary CXO 174528.79-290942.8 (XID 6592) and determine that the near-infrared counterpar…

The NuSTAR X-ray Spectrum of Hercules X-1: A Radiation-Dominated Radiative Shock

Michael T. Wolff, Peter A. Becker, Amy M. Gottlieb +7

We report new spectral modeling of the accreting X-ray pulsar Hercules X- 1. Our radiation-dominated radiative shock model is an implementation of the analytic work of Becker & Wol…

Suzaku observations of the 2013 outburst of KS 1947+300

Ralf Ballhausen, Matthias Kühnel, Katja Pottschmidt +9

We report on the timing and spectral analysis of two Suzaku observations with different flux levels of the high-mass X-ray binary KS 1947+300 during its 2013 outburst. In agreement…

A Compton-thin Solution for the Suzaku X-ray Spectrum of the Seyfert 2 Galaxy Mkn 3

T. Yaqoob, M. M. Tatum, A. Scholtes +2

Mkn 3 is a Seyfert 2 galaxy that is widely regarded as an exemplary Compton-thick AGN. We study the Suzaku X-ray spectrum using models of the X-ray reprocessor that self-consistent…

Looking into the Theory of Pulsar Accretion: Cen X-3 and XTE J1946+274

Diana M. Marcu, Katja Pottschmidt, Amy M. Gottlieb +5

This is an overview of pulsar accretion modeling. The physics of pulsar accretion, i.e., the process of plasma flow onto the neutron star surface, can be constrained from the spect…
