The XSTAR Atomic Database

Claudio Mendoza, Manuel A. Bautista, Jérôme Deprince +7

We describe the atomic database of the XSTAR spectral modeling code, summarizing the systematic upgrades carried out in the past twenty years to enable the modeling of K lines from…

Accurate Treatment of Comptonization in X-ray Illuminated Accretion Disks

Javier A. García, Ekaterina Sokolova-Lapa, Thomas Dauser +5

A large fraction of accreting black hole and neutron stars systems present clear evidence of the reprocessing of X-rays in the atmosphere of an optically-thick accretion disk. The…

The spin measurement of the black hole in 4U 1543-47 constrained with the X-ray reflected emission

Yanting Dong, Javier A. García, James F. Steiner +1

4U 1543-47 is a low mass X-ray binary which harbours a stellar-mass black hole located in our Milky Way galaxy. In this paper, we revisit 7 data sets which were in the Steep Power…

A detailed study on the reflection component for the Black Hole Candidate MAXI J1836-194

Yanting Dong, Javier A. García, Zhu Liu +3

We present a detailed spectral analysis of the black hole candidate MAXI J1836-194. The source was caught in the intermediate state during its 2011 outburst by Suzaku and RXTE. We…
