Abstract |
We present spectral and timing analysis results of the newly-discovered Galactic X-ray transient source MAXI J1535-571, which is likely a black hole binary. The source was discovered on 2017 Sep. 02. During the soft/high state, the maximum X-ray flux in 0.3-10 keV band increased by 25 times than that in the quiescent state, which is about 4 Crab. Using combined Swift/XRT, BAT and MAXI/GSC observations, we study accretion flow processes around the black hole from spectral fits with the Two-Component Advective Flow (TCAF) model in XSPEC. Depending upon the variations of the TCAF model fitted accretion flow parameters and nature of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), we classified the entire period of the outburst in different spectral states. We also estimated the probable mass of the source as 9.03 solar mass with a range from 8.17 to 10.54 solar mass.
