Reprocessing of X-rays in the outer accretion disc of the black hole binary XTE J1817--330 (2008)
Gierlinski, Marek, Done, Chris, Page, Kim
We build a simple model of the optical/UV emission from irradiation of the outer disc by the inner disc and coronal emission in black hole binaries. We apply this to the broadband Swift data from the...
Gierlinski, Marek, Done, Chris, Page, Kim
The key aspect of the very successful truncated disc model for the low/hard X-ray spectral state in black hole binaries is that the geometrically thin disc recedes back from the last stable orbit at...
The Swift X-ray flaring afterglow of GRB 050607 (2006)
Pagani, Claudio, Morris, David C., Kobayashi, Shiho, Sakamoto, Takanori, Falcone, Abraham D., Moretti, Alberto, ...
The unique capability of the Swift satellite to perform a prompt and autonomous slew to a newly detected Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) has yielded the discovery of interesting new properties of GRB X-ray...
Gamma-ray bursts: Restarting the Engine (2005)
King, Andrew, O'Brien, Paul T., Goad, Michael R., Osborne, Julian, Olsson, Emma, Page, Kim
Recent gamma-ray burst observations have revealed late-time, highly energetic events which deviate from the simplest expectations of the standard fireball picture. Instead they may indicate that the...
An XMM-Newton observation of the luminous Seyfert 1 galaxy Markarian 509 (2001)
Pounds, Ken, Reeves, James, O'Brien, Paul, Page, Kim, Turner, Martin, Nayakshin, Sergei
We present the spectral analysis of an early XMM-Newton observation of the luminous Seyfert 1 galaxy Markarian 509. We find the hard (2-10 keV) continuum slope, including reflection, to be somewhat...
