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...
