Black Hole

Lensing of space time around a black hole. At 91探花 we study black holes observationally and theoretically on all size and time scales - it is some of our core work.

Time resolved X-ray spectroscopy of V404 Cyg during the June 2015 outburst

Proceedings of Science 2016-October (2016)

Authors:

C S谩nchez-Fern谩ndez, J Kajava, SE Motta, E Kuulkers

Abstract:

Hard X-ray spectra of black hole binaries (BHB) are produced by the inverse Comptonization of soft seed photons by hot electrons near the black hole. The slope of the resulting energy spectra is governed by two main parameters: the electron temperature (Te) and the optical depth (蟿) of the emitting plasma. The extremely bright outburst of V404 Cyg in June 2015, provides a unique data set to perform time resolved spectroscopy and study in detail the evolution of the parameters describing the Comptonizing plasma. We present here the results of IBIS/ISGRI spectral analysis in the 20鈥200 keV energy range over the period 18鈥28 June 2015.
