Jets from Black Hole Binaries and Galactic Nuclei
Relativistic outflows are a common phenomenon in accreting black holes. Despite the enormous differences in scale, stellar-mass black holes in binaries and supermassive black holes in Galactic Nuclei produce jets with analogous properties. In both are observed two types of relativistic outflows: 1) steady compact jets with flat-spectrum, and 2) sporadic extended jets with steep-spectrum and app...
متن کاملNoisy Jets and Emission Components in Galactic X-Ray Binaries
Our knowledge of the phenomenology of accretion onto black holes has increased considerably thanks to ten years of observations with the RXTE satellite. However, only recently it has been possible to derive a scheme for the outburst evolution of transient systems on the basis of their spectral and timing properties, reaching a comprehensive definition of source states. These states are in turn ...

متن کاملLuminosity function of contact binaries based on the ASAS survey
The luminosity function for contact binary stars of the W UMa-type is evaluated on the basis of the ASAS photometric project covering all stars south of δ = +28◦ within a magnitude range 8 < V < 13. Lack of colour indices enforced a limitation to 3373 systems with P < 0.562 days (i.e. 73% of all systems with P < 1 day) where a simplified MV (logP ) calibration could be used. The spatial density...
متن کاملEnergetics of jets from X - ray binaries †
I discuss the energetics of synchrotron-emitting outflows, increasingly found to be present in many different classes of X-ray binary systems. It is shown that the outflow is likely to be comparable in power to the integrated X-ray luminosity, traditionally taken to be an indicator of the global mass-transfer rate. This is especially found to be the case in the (low/)hard states of black hole c...
