Description
MAXI J1803-298 is a recently discovered transient black hole (BH) X-ray binary that went into outburst on May 1st, 2021, and it was detected with MAXI/GSC1. NuSTAR observed MAXI J1803-298 four times during its outburst (see Table 1, Figure 1)21. We will model the spectrum so that we can see reflection features to be able to learn about the inner accretion disk and the environment around the BH. In Figure 1 and Table 1, we can see that the outburst started on May1st, the peak of the outburst was on May 14th, and the last observation was on June 17th.
