Description

The table BH_XBs_NuSTAR_reflection_results.csv contains the results of the spectral analysis of 245 NuSTAR observations of accreting black hole X-ray binaries. The work leading to these results was presented in Draghis et al. 2024. These results were explored in detail in Draghis et al. 2025 (accepted for publication). If you use this table in your work, we ask that you reference these papers. DOI for published results table: 10.5281/zenodo.15801174

The values in the table represent the modes and +/- 1 sigma credible intervals of the posterior probability distributions obtained from MCMC runs on the best-performing spectral model in terms of statistic. Each line represents one observation. The meaning of the columns is explained below. Empty entries indicate that either the model used for a specific observation did not include the component associated with the column (e.g. tbabs, diskbb, zxipcf, apec, gaussian), or that the particular flavor of relxill does not contain said parameter (as an example, relxillD will not have entries for 'h', 'Ecut', or 'kTe', and relxilllp will not have entries for 'Index1', 'Index2', or 'Rbr'). For a complete description, see the README file.
