Overview
Abstract
- During its 2003 outburst, the black hole X-ray transient H1743-322 produced two-sided radio and X-ray jets. Applying a simple and symmetric kinematic model to the trajectories of these jets, we determine the source distance, 8.5 ± 0.8 kpc, and the inclination angle of the jets, 75° ± 3°. Using these values, we estimate the spin
