GRO J1655-40: from ASCA and XMM-Newton Observations
We have analysed four ASCA observations (1994--1995, 1996--1997) and three XMM-
Newton observations (2005) of this source, in all of which the source is in high/soft state. We
modeled the continuum spectra with relativistic disk model kerrbb, estimated the spin of the
central black hole, and constrained the spectral hardening factor f_col and the distance. If
kerrbb model applies, for normally used value of f_col, the distance cannot be very small,
and f_col changes with observations.
