The Calibration Units of KM3NeT
R. Le Breton, M. Billault, C. Boutonnet +16
KM3NeT is a deep-sea infrastructure composed of two neutrino telescopes being deployed in the Mediterranean Sea: ARCA, near Sicily in Italy, designed for neutrino astronomy, and OR…
Chandra Spectral and Timing Analysis of Sgr A*'s Brightest X-ray Flares
Daryl Haggard, Melania Nynka, Brayden Mon +17
We analyze the two brightest Chandra X-ray flares detected from Sagittarius A*, with peak luminosities more than 600 x and 245 x greater than the quiescent X-ray emission. The brig…
Astro 2020: Astromineralogy of interstellar dust with X-ray spectroscopy
Lia Corrales, Lynne Valencic, Elisa Costantini +16
X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) in the 0.2-2 keV band is a crucial component in multi-wavelength studies of dust mineralogy, size, and shape -- parameters that are necessary…
Probing the Black Hole Engine with Measurements of the Relativistic X-ray Reflection Component
Javier A. García, Matteo Bachetti, David R. Ballantyne +21
Over the last decades X-ray spectroscopy has proven to be a powerful tool for the estimation of black hole spin and several other key parameters in dozens of AGN and black hole X-r…
Consequences of a possible jet-star interaction in the inner central parsec of Centaurus A
C. Müller, M. Kadler, K. Mannheim +5
The jet-counterjet system of the closest radio-loud active galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A) can be studied with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) on unprecedented small linear sca…
