Long term variability of Cygnus X-1. IX. A spectral-timing comparison of Cygnus X-1 and MAXI J1820+070 in the hard state

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Arkadip Basak, Arkadip Basak, , , | Summary: Cygnus X-1 is a persistent, high-mass black hole X-ray binary (BHXRB) which in the hard state shows many similar properties to transient BHXRBs, along with intriguing differences, such as the lack of quasi-periodic oscillations. Here, we compare for the […]

Energy extraction from the accelerating Kerr black hole via magnetic reconnection in the plunging region and circular orbit region

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Ke Wang, , , | Summary: Based on the magnetic reconnection mechanism, this study investigates how to extract energy effectively from an accelerating Kerr black hole in the plunging region and circular orbit region. After introducing the properties of accelerating black holes, including the event […]

High-Energy Neutrinos from Cosmic-Ray Scatterings with Supernova Neutrinos

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Gonzalo Herrera, Gonzalo Herrera, , , | Summary: Cosmic rays scattering with neutrinos produced in supernovae induce a flux of supernova neutrinos boosted to high energies. We calculate the neutrino flux arising from this new mechanism in environments with large cosmic-ray and supernova densities, such as some […]
