    • The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): probing accretion onto stellar mass black holes 

      Connors, Riley M. T.; Tomsick, John A.; Draghis, Paul; Coughenour, Benjamin; Shaw, Aarran W.; García, Javier A.; Walton, Dominic; Madsen, Kristin; Stern, Daniel; Rodriguez, Nicole Cavero; Dauser, Thomas; Del Santo, Melania; Jiang, Jiachen; Krawczynski, Henric; Liu, Honghui; Neilsen, Joseph; Nowak, Michael; Pike, Sean; Santangelo, Andrea; Sridhar, Navin; West, Andrew; Wilms, Jörn (2024-01-08)
      Accretion is a universal astrophysical process that plays a key role in cosmic history, from the epoch of reionization to galaxy and stellar formation and evolution. Accreting stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries are ...
    • High-density Reflection Spectroscopy of Black Hole X-Ray Binaries in the Hard State 

      Liu, Honghui; Jiang, Jiachen; Zhang, Zuobin; Bambi, Cosimo; Fabian, Andrew C.; Alonso-García, Javier; Ingram, Adam; Kara, Erin; Steiner, James F.; Tomsick, John A.; Walton, Dominic J.; Young, Andrew J. (2023-07-12)
      We present a high-density relativistic reflection analysis of 21 spectra of six black hole X-ray binaries in the hard state with data from NuSTAR and Swift. We find that 76% of the observations in our sample require a disk ...
    • A NuSTAR and Swift View of the Hard State of MAXI J1813-095 

      Jiang, Jiachen; Buisson, Douglas J. K.; Dauser, Thomas; Fabian, Andrew C.; Fürst, Felix; Gallo, Luigi C.; Harrison, Fiona A.; Parker, Michael L.; Steiner, James F.; Tomsick, John A.; Ubach, Santiago; Walton, Dominic J. (2022-08-01)
      We present an analysis of the NuSTAR and Swift spectra of the black hole candidate MAXI J1813−095 in a failed-transition outburst in 2018. The NuSTAR observations show evidence of reflected emission from the inner region ...
