Abstract

Transient black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152 showed rapid spectral and temporal evolution during its very first outburst. Our understanding about accretion flow dynamics around black hole candidates has improved much more after the inclusion of Chakrabarti-Titarchuk Two Component Advective Flow (TCAF) model as an additive table model in XSPEC. In this paper we make a detail study of temporal and spectral properties of black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152 during its 2010 outburst with TCAF and POS model. From our fit, we extract accretion flow parameters (Keplerian disk and sub-Keplerian halo rates, shock location, shock strength). We find mass of the object to be 4.17-7.74 M.
