Accepted for publication in ApJ", "categories": [ "astro-ph.HE" ], "abstract": "We present Suzaku observations of the Galactic black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127 in the low-hard state. The broadband coverage of Suzaku enables us to detect the source over the energy range 0.6 -- 250 keV. The broadband spectrum (2 -- 250 keV) is found to be consistent with a simple power-law (gamma \\sim 1.63). In agreement with previous observations of this system, a significant excess of soft X-ray flux is detected consistent with the presence of a cool accretion disc. Estimates of the disc inner radius infer a value consistent with the ISCO (R_{in} \\lesssim 6 R_g, for certain values of, e.g. N_H, i), although we cannot conclusively rule out the presence of an accretion disc truncated at larger radii (R_{in} \\sim 10 - 50 R_g). A weak, relativistically-broadened iron line is also detected, in addition to disc reflection at higher energy. However, the iron-K line profile favours an inner radius larger than the ISCO (R _{in} \\sim 10 - 20 R_g). The implications of these observations for models of the accretion flow in the low-hard state are discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-11-18T20:44:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "low-hard state", "suzaku broadband spectroscopy", "galactic black hole candidate swift", "black hole candidate swift j1753", "inner radius" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/0004-637X/709/1/358", "journal": "The Astrophysical Journal", "year": 2010, "month": "Jan", "volume": 709, "number": 1, "pages": 358 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 837295, "adsabs": "2010ApJ...709..358R" } } }
