abstract

Swift J1727.8--1613 is a black hole X-ray binary newly discovered in 2023. We perform spectral analysis with simultaneous Insight-HXMT, NICER and NuSTAR observations when the source was approaching to the hard intermediate state. Such a joint view reveals an additional hard component apart from the normally observed hard component with reflection in the spectrum, to be distinguished from the usual black hole X-ray binary systems. By including this extra component in the spectrum, we have measured a high spin of $0.98^{+0.02}_{-0.07}$ and an inclination of around $40^{+1.2}_{-0.8}$ degrees, which is consistent with NICER results reported before. However, we find that the additional spectral component can not be exclusively determined due to the model degeneracy. Accordingly, a possible jet/corona configuration is adjusted to account for the spectral fitting with different model trials. The extra component may originate either from a relativistic jet or a jet base/corona underneath a slow jet.

  1. Energy-dependent Optical/Near-infrared and X-ray Correlations in Swift J1727.8-1613

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For Swift J1727.8–1613, the optical–X-ray correlation flips sign with X-ray energy, and the QPO lag is flat (~60–80 ms) from 2 to 150 keV.
