XRISM/Resolve observations of Hercules X-1: vertical structure and kinematics of the disk wind
Peter Kosec, Laura Brenneman, Erin Kara +11
X-ray binary accretion disk winds can carry away a significant fraction of the matter transferred from the companion and hence strongly affect the accretion flow and the long-term…
Millihertz Oscillations Near the Innermost Orbit of a Supermassive Black Hole
Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, Christos Panagiotou +22
Recent discoveries from time-domain surveys are defying our expectations for how matter accretes onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The increased rate of short-timescale, repet…
Line detections in photospheric radius expansion bursts from 4U 1820-303
F. Barra, D. Barret, C. Pinto +3
Context: NICER (Neutron star Interior Composition ExploreR) is the instrument of choice for the spectral analysis of type I X-ray bursts, as it provides high throughput at X-ray CC…
Constraining Disk-to-Corona Power Transfer Fraction, Soft X-ray Excess Origin, and Black Hole Spin Population of Type-1 AGN across Mass Scales
Labani Mallick, Ciro Pinto, John Tomsick +6
Understanding the nature of the accretion disk, its interplay with the X-ray corona, and assessing black hole spin demographics remain open challenges in astrophysics. In this pape…
