An X-ray reverberation mass measurement of Cygnus X-1
We present the first X-ray reverberation mass measurement of a stellar-mass black hole. Accreting stellar-mass and supermassive black holes display characteristic spectral features resulting from reprocessing of hard X-rays by the accretion disc, such as an Fe Kα line and a Compton hump. This emissi...
