Mapping the inner accretion disc of the Galactic black hole J1550-564 through its rise to outburst (2001)
Journal Article
Wilson, C., & Done, C. (2001). Mapping the inner accretion disc of the Galactic black hole J1550-564 through its rise to outburst. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 325(1), 167-177. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2001.04406.x

We study the spectral properties of the first 14 observations of the rise to outburst phase of the X-ray transient J1550–564. Using both the PCA and HEXTE instruments, we find that the 3–200 keV spectra pass smoothly from a standard low/hard state to...

Probing the inner region of Cygnus X-1 in the low/hard state through its x-ray broadband spectrum (2001)
Journal Article
Di Salvo, T., Done, C., Życki, P., Burderi, L., & Robba, N. (2001). Probing the inner region of Cygnus X-1 in the low/hard state through its x-ray broadband spectrum. Astrophysical Journal, 547(2), 1024-1033. https://doi.org/10.1086/318396

We present the broadband X-ray spectrum of Cyg X-1 in the low/hard state as observed by the instruments on board BeppoSAX. The spectrum spans from 0.1 to 200 keV, allowing the total accretion luminosity to be observed rather than extrapolated, corres...
