Constraining black hole spin via X-ray spectroscopy

LW Brenneman, CS Reynolds - The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an analysis of the observed broad iron line feature and putative warm absorber
in the long 2001 XMM-Newton observation of the Seyfert 1.2 galaxy MCG-06-30-15. The …

The structure and X-ray radiation spectra of illuminated accretion disks in AGN-III. Modeling fractional variability

RW Goosmann, B Czerny, M Mouchet, G Ponti… - Astronomy & …, 2006 - aanda.org
Context. Random magnetic flares above the accretion disks of Active Galactic Nuclei can
account for the production of the primary radiation and for the rapid X-ray variability that …

Black hole spin in AGN and GBHCs

CS Reynolds, LW Brenneman, D Garofalo - Astrophysics and Space …, 2005 - Springer
We discuss constraints on black hole spin and spin-related astrophysics as derived from X-
ray spectroscopy. After a brief discussion about the robustness with which X-ray …

A model of magnetically induced disc–corona for black hole binaries

ZM Gan, DX Wang, WH Lei - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2009 - academic.oup.com
We propose a model of magnetic connection (MC) of a black hole with its surrounding
accretion disc based on large-scale magnetic field. The MC gives rise to transport of energy …

Illuminating tidal disruption events with a time-dependent theory of relativistic accretion discs

A Mummery - 2022 - ora.ox.ac.uk
At the centre of every large galaxy in the Universe lurks a supermassive black hole,
weighing in at a mass ranging from millions to tens of billions that of the Sun. The study of …

Accretion processes in AGN: The X-ray View

CS Reynolds - arXiv preprint astro-ph/0605368, 2006 - arxiv.org
We discuss constraints on the physics of the inner accretion disk, as well as the properties of
the black hole itself, that can be derived by a detailed examination of the relativistically …
