Re-estimating the Spin Parameter of the Black Hole in Cygnus X-1

Re-estimating the Spin Parameter of the Black Hole in Cygnus X-1

Cygnus X-1 is a well-studied persistent black hole X-ray binary. Recently, the three parameters needed to estimate the black hole spin of this system, namely the black hole mass M, the orbital inclination i, and the source distance D, have been updated. In this work we redetermine the spin parameter...
