SUZAKU OBSERVATIONS OF 4U 1957+11: POTENTIALLY THE MOST RAPIDLY SPINNING BLACK HOLE IN (THE HALO OF) THE GALAXY

We present three Suzaku observations of the black hole candidate 4U 1957+11 (V1408 Aql)-a source that exhibits some of the simplest and cleanest examples of soft, disk-dominated spectra. 4U 1957+11 also presents among the highest peak temperatures found from disk-dominated spectra. Such temperatures...
