The X-ray Spectrum Of The Black Hole Candidate Swift J1753.5-0127
Reham Mostafa, Mariano Mendez, Beike Hiemstra +4
We present a spectral analysis of the black hole candidate and X-ray transient source Swift J1753.5 0127 making use of simultaneous observations of XMM-Newton and Rossi X-ray Timin…
The Variable Quiescent X-ray Emission of the Neutron Star Transient XTE J1701-462
Joel K. Fridriksson, Jeroen Homan, Rudy Wijnands +6
We present the results of continued monitoring of the quiescent neutron star low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701-462 with Chandra and Swift. A new Chandra observation from 2010 October…
The Behavior of Matter under Extreme Conditions
F. Paerels, M. Mendez, M. Agueros +29
The cores of neutron stars harbor the highest matter densities known to occur in nature, up to several times the densities in atomic nuclei. Similarly, magnetic field strengths can…
Spin and Relativistic Phenomena Around Black Holes
L. Brenneman, J. M. Miller, K. Nandra +13
Since the seminal work of Penrose (1969) and Blandford & Znajek (1977), it has been realized that black hole spin may be an important energy source in astrophysics. The radio-loud/…
Stellar-Mass Black Holes and Their Progenitors
J. M. Miller, P. Uttley, K. Nandra +14
If a black hole has a low spin value, it must double its mass to reach a high spin parameter. Although this is easily accomplished through mergers or accretion in the case of super…
Long tails on thermonuclear X-ray bursts from neutron stars: a signature of inward heating?
J. J. M. in 't Zand, L. Keek, A. Cumming +3
We report the discovery of one-hour long tails on the few-minutes long X-ray bursts from the `clocked burster' GS 1826-24. We propose that the tails are due to enduring thermal rad…
