A review of quasi-periodic oscillations from black hole X-ray binaries: observation and theory

AR Ingram, SE Motta - New Astronomy Reviews, 2019 - Elsevier
Black hole and neutron star X-ray binary systems routinely show quasi-periodic oscillations
(QPOs) in their X-ray flux. Despite being strong, easily measurable signals, their physical …

X-ray properties of black-hole binaries

RA Remillard, JE McClintock - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2006 - annualreviews.org
We review the properties and behavior of 20 X-ray binaries that contain a dynamically-
confirmed black hole, 17 of which are transient systems. During the past decade, many of …

BlackCAT: A catalogue of stellar-mass black holes in X-ray transients

JM Corral-Santana, J Casares, T Munoz-Darias… - Astronomy & …, 2016 - aanda.org
Aims. During the last~ 50 years, the population of black hole candidates in X-ray binaries
has increased considerably, with 59 Galactic objects being detected in transient low-mass X …

WATCHDOG: a comprehensive all-sky database of galactic black hole X-ray binaries

BE Tetarenko, GR Sivakoff, CO Heinke… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
With the advent of more sensitive all-sky instruments, the transient universe is being probed
in greater depth than ever before. Taking advantage of available resources, we have …

Stingray: a modern Python library for spectral timing

D Huppenkothen, M Bachetti, AL Stevens… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
This paper describes the design and implementation of stingray, a library in Python built to
perform time series analysis and related tasks on astronomical light curves. Its core …

The black hole mass distribution in the galaxy

F Özel, D Psaltis, R Narayan… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We use dynamical mass measurements of 16 black holes in transient low-mass X-ray
binaries to infer the stellar black hole mass distribution in the parent population. We find that …

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 …

A scheme to unify low-power accreting black holes-Jet-dominated accretion flows and the radio/X-ray correlation

H Falcke, E Koerding, S Markoff - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2004 - aanda.org
We explore the evolution in power of black holes of all masses, and their associated jets,
within the scheme of an accretion rate-dependent state transition. Below a critical value of …

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 …
