The radio spectrum of a quiescent stellar mass black hole
Observations of V404 Cyg performed with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope at four frequencies, over the interval 1.4−8.4 GHz, have provided us with the first broadband radio spectrum of a ‘quiescent’ stellar mass black hole. The measured mean flux density is of 0.35 mJy, with a spectral index α = +0.09±0.19 (such that Sν ∝ ν). Synchrotron emission from an inhomogeneous partially self-abs...
متن کاملX-ray reflection in accreting stellar-mass black hole systems
The X-ray spectra of accreting stellar-mass black hole systems exhibit spectral features due to reflection, especially broad iron Kα emission lines. We investigate the reflection by the accretion disc that can be expected in the high/soft state of such a system. First, we perform a self-consistent calculation of the reflection that results from illumination of a hot, inner portion of the disc w...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Signals following Stellar–mass Black Hole Mergers
It is often assumed that gravitational wave (GW) events resulting from the merger of stellar– mass black holes are unlikely to produce electromagnetic (EM) counterparts. We point out that the progenitor binary has probably shed a mass & 10 M during its prior evolution. If a tiny fraction of this gas is retained until the merger, the recoil and sudden mass loss of the merged black hole shocks an...
متن کاملA Comparison of Intermediate Mass Black Hole Candidate Ulxs and Stellar-mass Black Holes
Cool thermal emission components have recently been revealed in the X-ray spectra of a small number of ultraluminous X-ray (ULX) sources with LX ≥ 1040 erg/s in nearby galaxies. These components can be well fitted with accretion disk models, with temperatures approximately 5–10 times lower than disk temperatures measured in stellar-mass Galactic black holes when observed in their brightest stat...
متن کاملThe distances to Galactic low–mass X–ray binaries: consequences for black hole luminosities and kicks
We investigated the reported distances of Galactic black hole (BH) and neutron star low–mass X–ray binaries (LMXBs). Comparing the distances derived for the neutron stars Cyg X–2 and XTE J2123–058 using the observed Eddington limited photospheric radius expansion bursts with the distances derived using the observed radius and effective temperature of the companion star we find that the latter a...
