Hot accretion flows around black holes
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 …

Modelling the behaviour of accretion flows in X-ray binaries: Everything you always wanted to know about accretion but were afraid to ask
C Done, M Gierliński, A Kubota - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2007 - Springer
We review how the recent increase in X-ray and radio data from black hole and neutron star
binaries can be merged together with theoretical advances to give a coherent picture of the …

A Fundamental Plane of black hole activity
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 …

A universal radio–X-ray correlation in low/hard state black hole binaries
E Gallo, RP Fender, GG Pooley - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2003 - academic.oup.com
Several independent lines of evidence now point to a connection between the physical
processes that govern radio (ie jet) and X-ray emission from accreting X-ray binaries. We …

Black hole binaries
JE McClintock, RA Remillard - arXiv preprint astro-ph/0306213, 2003 - arxiv.org
We review the properties of 40 X-ray binaries that contain either a confirmed black hole or a
black hole candidate. After discussing briefly the significance of these Galactic black holes to …

Advection-dominated accretion and the black hole event horizon
R Narayan, JE McClintock - New Astronomy Reviews, 2008 - Elsevier
As the luminosity of an accreting black hole drops to a few percent of Eddington, the
spectrum switches from the familiar soft state to a hard state that is well-described by a …
