Globular Cluster Systems in Brightest Cluster Galaxies: A Near-Universal Luminosity Function?
William E. Harris, Warren Morningstar, Oleg Y. Gnedin +10
We present the first results from our HST Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG) survey of seven central supergiant cluster galaxies and their globular cluster (GC) systems. We measure a t…
The spin of the black hole 4U 1543-47
W. R. Morningstar, J. M. Miller
We present a new analysis of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations of the 2002 outburst of the transient X-ray nova 4U 1543-47. We focus on observations in the High/Soft state,…
A Seyfert-2-like Spectrum in the High-Mass X-ray Binary Microquasar V4641 Sgr
W. R. Morningstar, J. M. Miller, M. T. Reynolds +1
We present an analysis of three archival Chandra observations of the black hole V4641 Sgr, performed during a decline into quiescence. The last two observations in the sequence can…
The Spin of the Black Hole GS 1124-683: Observation of a Retrograde Accretion Disk?
Warren R. Morningstar, Jon M. Miller, Rubens C. Reis +1
We re-examine archival Ginga data for the black hole binary system GS 1124-683, obtained when the system was undergoing its 1991 outburst. Our analysis estimates the dimensionless…
