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…
