X-RAY REFLECTION SPECTROSCOPY OF THE BLACK HOLE GX 339–4: EXPLORING THE HARD STATE WITH UNPRECEDENTED SENSITIVITY

X-RAY REFLECTION SPECTROSCOPY OF THE BLACK HOLE GX 339–4: EXPLORING THE HARD STATE WITH UNPRECEDENTED SENSITIVITY

We analyze simultaneously six composite RXTE spectra of GX 339–4 in the hard state comprising 77 million counts collected over 196 ks. The source spectra are ordered by luminosity and span the range 1.6%–17% of the Eddington luminosity. Crucially, using our new tool pcacorr, we re-calibrate the data...
