Broadband Multi-wavelength Properties of M87 during the 2018 EHT Campaign including a Very High Energy Flaring Episode

J. C. Algaba, M. Balokovic, S. Chandra +738

The nearby elliptical galaxy M87 contains one of the only two supermassive black holes whose emission surrounding the event horizon has been imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope (…

Highly-coherent quasi-periodic oscillations in the 'heartbeat' black hole X-ray binary IGR J17091-3624

Jingyi Wang, Erin Kara, Jeroen Homan +13

IGR J17091-3624 is a black hole X-ray binary (BHXB), often referred to as the 'twin' of GRS 1915+105 because it is the only other known BHXB that can show exotic 'heartbeat'-like v…

The 2022 Outburst of IGR J17091-3624: Connecting the exotic GRS 1915+105 to standard black hole X-ray binaries

Jingyi Wang, Erin Kara, Javier A. García +13

While the standard X-ray variability of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs) is stochastic and noisy, there are two known BHXBs that exhibit exotic `heartbeat'-like variability in the…

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Probing Accretion onto Stellar Mass Black Holes

Riley Connors, John Tomsick, Paul Draghis +20

Accretion is a universal astrophysical process that plays a key role in cosmic history, from the epoch of reionization to galaxy and stellar formation and evolution. Accreting stel…

Tracking the X-ray Polarization of the Black Hole Transient Swift J1727.8-1613 during a State Transition

Adam Ingram, Niek Bollemeijer, Alexandra Veledina +120

We report on an observational campaign on the bright black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613 centered around five observations by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)…

A unified accretion-ejection paradigm for black hole X-ray binaries. VI. Radiative efficiency and radio-X-ray correlation during four outbursts from GX339-4

G. Marcel, J. Ferreira, P-O. Petrucci +9

The spectral evolution of transient X-ray binaries can be reproduced by an interplay between two flows separated at a radius : a standard accretion disk (SAD) in the outer par…

A unified accretion-ejection paradigm for black hole X-ray binaries. V. Low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations

G. Marcel, F. Cangemi, J. Rodriguez +6

We proposed that the spectral evolution of transient X-ray binaries (XrB) is due to an interplay between two flows: a standard accretion disk (SAD) in the outer parts and a jet-emi…

A NICER Spectrum of MAXI J1535-571: Near-Maximal Black Hole Spin and Potential Disk Warping

J. M. Miller, K. Gendreau, R. M. Ludlam +10

We report on a NICER observation of the Galactic X-ray binary and stellar-mass black hole candidate, MAXI J1535-571. The source was likely observed in an "intermediate" or "very hi…

A Persistent Disk Wind in GRS 1915+105 with NICER

Joey Neilsen, E. Cackett, R. A. Remillard +13

The bright, erratic black hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105 has long been a target for studies of disk instabilities, radio/infrared jets, and accretion disk winds, with implications…

The clumpy absorber in the high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1

V. Grinberg, N. Hell, I. El Mellah +13

Bright and eclipsing, the high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1 offers a unique opportunity to study accretion onto a neutron star from clumpy winds of O/B stars and to disentangle the c…

Using infrared/X-ray flare statistics to probe the emission regions near the event horizon of Sgr A*

Salome Dibi, Sera Markoff, Renaud Belmont +3

The supermassive black hole at the centre of the Galaxy flares at least daily in the infrared (IR) and X-ray bands, yet the process driving these flares is still unknown. So far de…

A Super-Eddington Compton-Thick Wind in GRO J1655-40?

J. Neilsen, F. Rahoui, J. Homan +1

During its 2005 outburst, GRO J1655-40 was observed at high spectral resolution with the Chandra HETGS, revealing a spectrum rich with blueshifted absorption lines indicative of an…

Comparison of time/phase lags in the hard state and plateau state of GRS 1915+105

Mayukh Pahari, Joseph Neilsen, J S Yadav +2

We investigate the complex behavior of energy- and frequency-dependent time/phase lags in the plateau state and the radio-quiet hard state of GRS 1915+105. In our timing analysis,…
