Atomic 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 کاملHigh Mass Black Holes in Soft X-ray Transients
1 We suggest that high-mass black holes; i.e., black holes of several solar masses, can be formed in binaries with low-mass main-sequence companions, provided that the hydrogen envelope of the massive star is removed in common envelope evolution which begins only after the massive star has finished He core burning. Our evolution scenario naturally explains the gap (low probability region) in th...
متن کاملThermal 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 کاملNeutron Stars and Black Holes in X-ray Binaries
Galactic accretion driven stellar X-ray sources can be divided into groups in different ways. An important division, which covers almost all known X-ray binaries, can be made according to the mass of the donor star: high-mass X-ray binaries and low-mass X-ray binaries. Another distinction (partially overlapping with the previous one) can be made on the basis of the nature of the accreting objec...
متن کاملX-ray Polarization from Black Holes in the Thermal State
We present new calculations of X-ray polarization from black hole 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 distant o...
