This project explores the properties of black hole X-ray binaries to understand their mass, spin, and influence on surrounding galaxies. By combining spectral and polarimetric analysis, it aims to reveal insights into the dynamics of these systems and their role in binary evolution.
Black hole (BH) X-ray binaries (XRBs) radiate a huge X-ray flux from the BH vicinity.
The X-ray signal, radiated by a hot corona and a cooler disk, contains information on the BH mass and spin, and the strong gravitational field close to its horizon.
However, the X-ray emitting region is unresolvable, necessitating indirect mapping techniques. I pioneered forward-modelling spectral-timing techniques that exploit rapid spectral variability, and played a key role in the first studies of X-ray pola…
