A unified accretion-ejection paradigm for Black Hole X-ray Binaries
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a new picture for the central regions of Black Hole X-ray Binaries. In our view, these central regions have a multi-flow configuration which consists in (1) an outer standard accretion disc down to a transition radius rJ , (2) an inner magnetized accretion disc below rJ driving (3) a non relativistic self-collimated electronproton jet surrounding, when adequate conditions for pair creation are met, (4) a ultra relativistic electron-positron

We review our current understanding of the radio properties of black hole X-ray binaries in connection with the X-ray spectral states, and discuss them in the framework of the recently proposed unified model for the jet-accretion coupling in these systems.
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...
متن کاملJet disc coupling in black hole binaries
In the last decade multi-wavelength observations have demonstrated the importance of jets in the energy output of accreting black hole binaries. The observed correlations between the presence of a jet and the state of the accretion flow provide important information on the coupling between accretion and ejection processes. After a brief review of the properties of black hole binaries, I illustr...
متن کاملX-ray States of Black-Hole Binaries and Implications for the Mechanism of Steady Jets
RXTE and other high-energy observatories continue to probe the properties of stellar-size black holes and the physics of accretion using bright X-ray transients in the Galaxy. Progress has been made in recognizing that the three states of active accretion are related to different physical elements that may contribute radiation: the accretion disk, a jet, and a compact and radio-quiet corona. Ea...
متن کاملA Scheme to Unify Low-Power Accreting Black Holes Jet-Dominated Accretion Flows and the Radio/X-Ray Correlation
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 the accretion rate all systems are assumed to undergo a transition to a state where the dominant accretion mode is optically thin and radiatively inefficient. In these significantly sub-Eddington systems, the spec...
