Accretion flows in X-ray binaries.
I review the X-ray observations of galactic accreting black holes and neutron stars and interpretations of these in terms of solutions of the accretion flow equations.
متن کاملAccretion Flows in X–Ray Binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei
Hard X–ray emission is ubiquitous in accreting black holes, both in Galactic binary systems and in Active Galactic Nuclei. I review the different spectra which can be seen from these systems, and possible ways of producing this emission. X–ray reflection should give an observational test of these scenarios, but we need better models before this can give an unambiguous diagnostic of the accretio...
متن کاملModelling the Behaviour of Accretion Flows in X-ray Binaries Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Accretion but Were Afraid to Ask
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 physics of the accretion flow in strong gravity. Both long term X-ray light curves, X-ray spectra, the rapid X-ray variability and the radio jet behaviour are consistent with a model where a standard outer accretio...
متن کاملForty Years of X-Ray Binaries
In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...
