Hot accretion flows around black holes

F Yuan, R Narayan - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2014 - annualreviews.org
Black hole accretion flows can be divided into two broad classes: cold and hot. Whereas
cold accretion flows consist of cool optically thick gas and are found at relatively high mass …

Sources of relativistic jets in the galaxy

IF Mirabel, LF Rodriguez - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 1999 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Black holes of stellar mass and neutron stars in binary systems are first detected
as hard X-ray sources using high-energy space telescopes. Relativistic jets in some of these …

Efficient generation of jets from magnetically arrested accretion on a rapidly spinning black hole

A Tchekhovskoy, R Narayan… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
We describe global, 3D, time‐dependent, non‐radiative, general‐relativistic,
magnetohydrodynamic simulations of accreting black holes (BHs). The simulations are …

General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of magnetically choked accretion flows around black holes

JC McKinney, A Tchekhovskoy… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
Black hole (BH) accretion flows and jets are qualitatively affected by the presence of ordered
magnetic fields. We study fully 3D global general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) …

Towards a unified model for black hole X-ray binary jets

RP Fender, TM Belloni, E Gallo - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2004 - academic.oup.com
We present a unified semiquantitative model for the disc–jet coupling in black hole X-ray
binary systems. In the process we have compiled observational aspects from the existing …

A Fundamental Plane of black hole activity

A Merloni, S Heinz, T Di Matteo - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2003 - academic.oup.com
We examine the disc—jet connection in stellar mass and supermassive black holes by
investigating the properties of their compact emission in the X-ray and radio bands. We …

General physical properties of bright Fermi blazars

G Ghisellini, F Tavecchio, L Foschini… - Monthly Notices of …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
We studied all blazars of known redshift detected by the Fermi satellite during its first 3-
month survey. For the majority of them, pointed Swift observations ensure a good …

Black hole spin and the radio loud/quiet dichotomy of active galactic nuclei

A Tchekhovskoy, R Narayan… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
Radio loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are on average 1000 times brighter in the radio
band compared to radio quiet AGNs. We investigate whether this radio loud/quiet dichotomy …

Supernovae, jets, and collapsars

AI MacFadyen, SE Woosley, A Heger - The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
We continue our study of the possible production of supernovae and a variety of high-energy
transients by black hole formation in massive stars endowed with rotation: the" collapsar …
