What powers the wind from the black hole accretion disc in GRO J1655− 40?

R Tomaru, C Done, J Mao - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Black hole accretion discs can produce powerful outflowing plasma (disc winds), seen as
blue-shifted absorption lines in stellar and supermassive systems. These winds in quasars …

Evidence for a radiatively driven disc-wind in PDS 456?

Thermal winds in stellar mass black hole and neutron star binary systems

C Done, R Tomaru, T Takahashi - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Black hole binaries show equatorial disc winds at high luminosities, which apparently

A Momentum-conserving Accretion Disk Wind in the Narrow-line Seyfert 1 I Zwicky 1

JN Reeves, V Braito - The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract I Zwicky 1 (hereafter I Zw 1) is the prototype optical narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy. It is
