Going with the flow: can the base of jets subsume the role of compact accretion disk coronae?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the question of whether the "corona" and "jet base" are in fact related, starting by testing the strongest premise that they are synonymous, and compare the results to simultaneous radio/X-ray data obtained from the hard states of the Galactic XRBs GX 339-4 and Cygnus X-1.
