High mass accretion rate spectra
• classical high/soft state▫ disc dominated▫ measure BH spin from disc
continuum
• very high/intermediate state▫ strong hard X-ray tail▫ measure BH spin from Fe-line

• DISKBB• simplest multi-colour disc blackbody
• KERRBB• stress-free inner boundary condition, relativistic smearing
and the colour- temperature correction• BHSPEC• calculates radiative transfer
through each disc annuli• includes all the relativistic
corrections• assumes Rin=RISCO

Continuum fitting below 3 keV: Disc dominated state• Disc model
▫ use this as seed photons for Comptonisation (convolved with Simpl (Steiner et al. 2009)) to make X-ray tail
• reflection of Comptonised continuum using ionised reflection models of Ross & Fabian
• relativistic smearing (kdblur)

• tbabs*((diskbb*simpl)+CompTT+kdblur*refxion*(simpl*diskbb))
• a major advantage comes from being able to fit with different mass accretion rates

Previously derived an upper limit of 0.9 for the spin in
GX 339-4 from continuum fitting of disc dominated RXTE
spectra
GX 339-4 widely studied in terms of Fe-line• burst mode spectrum gave a*= 0.935

Conclusions
• The XMM-Newton Burst mode can actually be used to make science ▫ can look at the disc below 3 keV even with the
brightest objects
• Real disc spectra are much broader than diskbb
• Changing the continuum model changes the shape of the iron line (and the BH spin)
