Thermal X-Ray Line Emission from Accreting Black Holes
We present model X-ray spectra of accreting black holes with advection-dominated accretion flows, paying attention to thermal emission lines from the hot plasma. We show that the Advanced X-ray Astrophysical Facility (AXAF) might be able to observe lines from X-ray binaries such as V404 Cyg in quiescence, the Galactic center black hole Sagittarius A, and the nuclei of nearby galaxies such as M8...
متن کاملX-ray Polarization from Accreting Black Holes: II. The Thermal State
We present new calculations of X-ray polarization from black hole (BH) accretion disks in the thermally-dominated state, using a Monte-Carlo ray-tracing code in full general relativity. In contrast to many previously published studies, our approach allows us to include returning radiation that is deflected by the strong-field gravity of the BH and scatters off of the disk before reaching a dist...
متن کاملCoronal X-ray Emission from the Stellar Companions to Transiently Accreting Black Holes
Many neutron stars and black holes are in binaries where the mass transfer rate onto the compact object is highly variable. X-ray observations of these transients in quiescence (Lx < 1034 erg s−1) have found that the binaries harboring black holes are much fainter than those that contain a neutron star. Narayan and collaborators postulated that the faint X-ray emission from black hole binaries ...
متن کاملAtomic X-ray Spectroscopy of Accreting Black Holes
Current astrophysical research suggests that the most persistently luminous objects in the Universe are powered by the flow of matter through accretion disks onto black holes. Accretion disk systems are observed to emit copious radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum, each energy band providing access to rather distinct regimes of physical conditions and geometric scale. X-ray emission pr...
متن کاملBulk Motion in X-ray Flares near Accreting Black Holes
The weakness of X-ray reflection in Cyg X-1 is suggested to be due to vertical motion of the emitting plasma in the active corona of an accretion disk. A mildly relativistic bulk motion causes a reduction of X-ray emission towards the disk which reflects/reprocesses the incident X-rays. The observed slope of the X-ray spectrum and the amount of reflection can both be explained if the flaring pl...
