Wind Mass-loss Rates of Stripped Stars Inferred from Cygnus X-1

Wind Mass-loss Rates of Stripped Stars Inferred from Cygnus X-1

Recent observations of the high-mass X-ray binary Cygnus X-1 have shown that both the companion star (41 solar masses) and the black hole (21 solar masses) are more massive than previously estimated. Furthermore, the black hole appears to be nearly maximally spinning. Here, we present a possible for...
