Evolution of the accretion disk-corona during bright hard-to-soft state transition: A reflection spectroscopic study with GX 339-4

Navin Sridhar, Javier A. García, James F. Steiner +3

We present the analysis of several observations of the black hole binary GX 339--4 during its bright intermediate states from two different outbursts (2002 and 2004), as observed b…

Relativistic reflection and reverberation in GX 339-4 with NICER and NuSTAR

Jingyi Wang, Erin Kara, James Steiner +8

We analyze seven NICER and NuSTAR epochs of the black hole X-ray binary GX 339-4 in the hard state during its two most recent hard-only outbursts in 2017 and 2019. These observatio…

The 2017 Failed Outburst of GX 339-4: Relativistic X-ray Reflection near the Black Hole Revealed by NuSTAR and Swift Spectroscopy

Javier A. García, John A. Tomsick, Navin Sridhar +12

We report on the spectroscopic analysis of the black hole binary GX 339-4 during its recent 2017-2018 outburst, observed simultaneously by the Swift and NuSTAR observatories. Altho…

A public relativistic transfer function model for X-ray reverberation mapping of accreting black holes

Adam Ingram, Guglielmo Mastroserio, Thomas Dauser +3

We present the publicly available model \textsc{reltrans} that calculates the light-crossing delays and energy shifts experienced by X-ray photons originally emitted close to the b…

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…

High Density Reflection Spectroscopy I. A case study of GX~339-4

Jiachen Jiang, Andrew C. Fabian, Jingyi Wang +5

We present a broad band spectral analysis of the black hole binary GX~339-4 with NuSTAR and Swift using high density reflection model. The observations were taken when the source w…
