چکیده

Extragalactic black hole X-ray binaries LMC X-1 and X-3 are the persistent sources, usually found in soft spectral state. We present results from timing study of these sources using MAXI, NICER, NuSTAR AstroSat observations carried out during 2014-2020. Study long-term MAXI lightcurve shows that fractional variability flux 2-10keV is moderate ($\sim$20%) LMCX-1 high ($\sim$50%) LMCX-3. The energy spectra both characterized by a disc blackbody Comptonization component with having an additional Fe-line emission feature. NICER (0.3-10keV), (3.0-40keV) (0.5-20keV) analysis collectively show remained state (disc contribution $f_{disc}>80$%, photon index$\Gamma\sim2.06-4.08$) throughout Mass accretion rate, $\dot{M}$ calculated bolometric luminosity (0.1-50keV) to be within $0.07-0.24\dot{M}_{Edd}$ (Eddington mass rate). Although ($f_{disc}>95\%,\Gamma\sim2.3$) most time, it exhibits transition into intermediate ($f_{disc}=47-73\%,\Gamma\sim2.02-2.36$) hard ($f_{disc}\sim26\%,\Gamma\sim1.6$). through different states varies $0.01-0.42\dot{M}_{Edd}$. Temporal Power Density Spectra (PDS) 0.3-10keV follow red-noise rms 2% for case X-3, 0.08-2.35% state, but relatively intermediate(3.05-4.91%) state($\sim$17.06%). From continuum-fitting method we constrain spin 0.85-0.94 0.16-0.33 respectively fitting method, 0.93-0.94. Finally, discuss implication our findings context dynamics around vicinity BHs.

Black Hole X-ray Binary LMC X–1 and LMC X–3: Observations Confront Spectral Models

We present a comprehensive spectral analysis of black hole X-ray binaries, LMC X–1 and LMC X–3, based on BeppoSAX observations. We test both the multi-color disk plus power law (MCD+PL) model and a newly-developed Monte-Carlo simulationbased model for a Comptonized MCD (CMCD) with either a spherical or a slab-like corona, by comparing the inferred parameters with independent direct measurements...

A Good Long Look at the Black Hole Candidates LMC X-1 and LMC X-3

LMC X-1 and LMC X-3 are the only known persistent stellar-mass black hole candidates that have almost always shown spectra that are dominated by a soft, thermal component. We present here results from 170ksec long Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations of these objects, taken in 1996 December, where their spectra can be described by a disc black body plus an additional soft (Γ ∼ 2.8) h...

The X-ray Spectral Evolution of Galactic Black Hole X-ray Binaries toward Quiescence

Most transient black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs) spend the bulk of their time in a quiescent state, where they accrete matter from their companion star at highly sub-Eddington luminosities (we define quiescence here as a normalized Eddington ratio lx = L0.5–10 keV/LEdd < 10−5). Here, we present Chandra X-ray imaging spectroscopy for three BHXB systems (H 1743−322, MAXI J1659−152, and XTE J1752−...

X-ray Properties of Black-Hole Binaries

We review the properties and behavior of 20 X-ray binaries that contain a dynamically-confirmed black hole, 17 of which are transient systems. During the past decade, many of these transient sources were observed daily throughout the course of their typically year-long outburst cycles using the large-area timing detector aboard the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The evolution of these transient s...

Forty Years of X-Ray Binaries

In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...
