Abstract | MAXI J1820+070 is a newly discovered black hole X-ray binary, whose dynamical parameters, namely the black hole mass, the inclination angle, and the source distance, have recently been estimated. Insight-HXMT have observed its entire outburst from 2018 March 14. In this work, we attempted to estimate the spin parameter a*, using the continuum-fitting method and applying a fully relativistic thin disk model to the soft-state spectra obtained by Insight-HXMT. It is well known that a* is strongly dependent on three dynamical parameters in this method, and we have examined two sets of parameters. Adopting our preferred parameters: M = , i = 63° ± 3°, and D = 2.96 ± 0.33 kpc, we found a slowly spinning black hole of a* = 0.14 ± 0.09 (1ҩ, which gives a prograde spin parameter as the majority of other systems show. It is also possible for the black hole to have a retrograde spin (less than 0) if different dynamical parameters are taken. |
