A DETERMINATION OF THE SPIN OF THE BLACK HOLE PRIMARY IN LMC X-1

The first extragalactic X-ray binary, LMC X-1, was discovered in 1969. In the 1980s, its compact primary was established as the fourth dynamical black hole candidate. Recently, we published accurate values for the mass of the black hole and the orbital inclination angle of the binary system. Buildin...
