TLDR
In this paper, the authors review the basic phenomenology of different varieties of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in both black hole and neutron star X-ray binary systems and focus mainly on low frequency QPOs in black hole systems.

Black holes in binary systems

TL;DR: A detailed view of the possible detection of a black hole can be found in this article, where the authors show a schematic view of a path leading to this objective from observations of existing type.

A 400 solar mass black hole in the galaxy M82

TL;DR: Stable, twin-peak (3:2 frequency ratio) X-ray quasi-periodic oscillations from M82 X-1 are reported and the black hole mass is estimated to be 428 ± 105 solar masses using the relativistic precession model.

The Distance, Inclination, and Spin of the Black Hole Microquasar H1743-322

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and symmetric kinematic model was applied to the trajectories of two-sided radio and X-ray jets of H1743-322 to determine the source distance, 8.5 \pm 0.8 kpc and inclination angle of the jets, 75 \pm 3 degrees.

Neutron stars and the nuclear equation of state

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the current status and recent progress of microscopic many-body approaches and phenomenological models, which are employed to construct the equation of state of neutron stars.

A powerful local shear instability in weakly magnetized disks. I - Linear analysis. II - Nonlinear evolution

TL;DR: In this article, a linear analysis is presented of the instability, which is local and extremely powerful; the maximum growth rate which is of the order of the angular rotation velocity, is independent of the strength of the magnetic field.

X-Ray Properties of Black-Hole Binaries

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors 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 these transien...

Black holes in binary systems. Observational appearance

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and radiation spectrum of the disk around a black hole are investigated. But the authors focus on the formation of a disk around the black hole and not on the physical structure of the accreting matter.
