The low-spin black hole in LMC X-3

The low-spin black hole in LMC X-3

Building upon a new dynamical model for the X-ray binary LMC X-3, we measure the spin of its black hole (BH) primary via the continuum-fitting method. We consider over one thousand thermal-state Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer X-ray spectra of LMC X-3. Using a large subset of these spectra, we constrain...
