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…

Variability as a predictor for the hard-to-soft state transition in GX 339-4

Matteo Lucchini, Marina Ten Have, Jingyi Wang +17

During the outbursts of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs), their accretion flows transition through several states. The source luminosity rises in the hard state, dominated by non…

Investigating the impact of vertically extended coronae on X-ray reverberation mapping

Matteo Lucchini, Guglielmo Mastroserio, Jingyi Wang +9

Accreting black holes commonly exhibit hard X-ray emission, originating from a region of hot plasma near the central engine referred to as the corona. The origin and geometry of th…

Phase-resolved spectroscopy of a quasi-periodic oscillation in the black hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105 with NICER and NuSTAR

Edward Nathan, Adam Ingram, Jeroen Homan +6

Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are often present in the X-ray flux from accreting stellar-mass black holes (BHs). If they are due to relativistic (Lense-Thirring) precession of…

Disk, Corona, Jet Connection in the Intermediate State of MAXI J1820+070 Revealed by NICER Spectral-Timing Analysis

Jingyi Wang, Guglielmo Mastroserio, Erin Kara +14

We analyze 5 epochs of NICER data of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 during the bright hard-to-soft state transition in its 2018 outburst with both reflection spectrosco…
