Abstract (from CDS):

The Galactic black hole candidate MAXI J0637-430 was first discovered by MAXI/GSC on 2019 November 2. We study the spectral properties of MAXI J0637-430 by using the archived NuSTAR data and Swift/XRT data. After fitting the eight spectra by using a disk component and a powerlaw component model with absorption, we select the spectra with relatively strong reflection components for detailed X-ray reflection spectroscopy. Using the most state-of-art reflection model, relxillCp, the spectral fitting measures a black hole spin a* > 0.72 and the inclination angle of the accretion disk i = ${46.1}_{-5.3}^{+4.0}$ degrees, at a 90% confidence level. In addition, the fitting results show an extreme supersolar iron abundance. Combined with the fitting results of reflection model reflionx_hd, we consider that this unphysical iron abundance may be caused by a very high-density accretion disk (ne > 2.34 × 1021 cm–3) or a strong Fe Kα emission line. The soft excess is found in the soft state spectral fitting results, which may be an extra free-free heating effect caused by high density of the accretion disk. Finally, we discuss the robustness of black hole spin obtained by X-ray reflection spectroscopy. The result of relatively high spin is self-consistent with broadened Fe Kα line. Iron abundance and disk density have no effect on the spin results.
