Popis: We present our analysis of MAXI J1813-095 during its hard state ``stalled'' outburst in 2018. This self-consistent analysis has been carried out using \NICER, \Swift, \Chandra, and {\NuSTAR} throughout seven observations of MAXI J1813-095. We find a relativistic iron line at $\sim$6.5 keV from the inner region of the accretion disk. Our results are consistent with a slightly truncated disk or non-truncated disk for an inner radius of $\sim$2$R_\mathrm{g}$ and minimum spin of $>$0.7 with a best value of $\sim0.9$, assuming $R_\mathrm{in}$ reaches the innermost stable circular orbit at $\it{L_\mathrm{x}}$ $\sim$ 1\% $\it{L_\mathrm{Edd}}$. We analyzed MAXI J1813-095 over its outburst employing a spectral model which self-consistently couples the seed disk photons to the Comptonization and reflection components, also inclusive of reflection Comptonization. The unique aspect of this work is a reflection fraction of order unity, which is significantly higher than previous studies of this source, and is a consequence of applying the self-consistent disk-Comptonization-reflection spectral model. Other key parameters such as inclination and inner radius are found to be consistent with other works. works.
