BLACK HOLE SPIN–ORBIT MISALIGNMENT IN GALACTIC X-RAY BINARIES
BLACK HOLE SPIN–ORBIT MISALIGNMENT IN GALACTIC X-RAY BINARIES
In black hole X-ray binaries, a misalignment between the spin axis of the black hole and the orbital angular momentum can occur during the supernova explosion that forms the compact object. In this letter we present population synthesis models of Galactic black hole X-ray binaries, and study the probability density …
