Discovery of X-ray emission from the first Be/black hole system
P. Munar-Adrover,J. M. Paredes,Marc Ribó,Kazushi Iwasawa,Victor Zabalza,Jorge Casares,Jorge Casares +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first binary system composed of a Be star and a black hole was discovered, and the spectrum analysis required a model fit with two components, a black body plus a power law, with the obtained total flux is $F(0.3$--$5.6$~kpc).
Journal ArticleDOI
Orbital period decay of compact black hole X-ray binaries: the influence of circumbinary disks?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the circumbinary disk model to simulate the evolution of XTE J 1118+480 and A0620-00 via a stellar evolution code.

Selected Chapters on Active Galactic Nuclei as Relativistic Systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of selected aspects of physical processes occurring in the inner regions of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the observational evidence suggests that strong gravitational fields play a significant role in governing the energy output of AGN and their influence on the surrounding medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of thermally-driven disc winds in X-ray binaries: A direct comparison to GRO J1655-40
Nick Higginbottom,Christian Knigge,Knox S. Long,James Matthews,Stuart A. Sim,Henrietta A. Hewitt +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled radiation-hydrodynamic simulation of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in the soft state appears to drive powerful equatorial disc winds, where the frequency-dependent attenuation of the irradiating SED is taken into account.
Journal ArticleDOI
The X-Ray Point-Source Population of NGC 1365: The Puzzle of Two Highly-Variable Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources
Iskra Strateva,Stefanie Komossa +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Chandra and XMM-Newton point-sources were discovered with Chandra within 200'' (≈20 kpc) of the center of the barred supergiant galaxy NGC 1365.

Black Holes, White Dwarfs, and Neutron Stars
TL;DR: In this paper, the soft file of a book collection of black holes white dwarfs and neutron stars can be downloaded and the book can be found on-line in this site.

A powerful local shear instability in weakly magnetized disks. I - Linear analysis. II - Nonlinear evolution
Steven A. Balbus,John F. Hawley +1 more
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.
Book
Compact Stellar X-ray Sources
TL;DR: A decade of X-ray sources and their evolution is described in this paper, with a focus on the formation and evolution of super-soft sources and the formation of compact stellar sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accretion Discs in Astrophysics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method of redistributing angular momentum among the gas particles in order to let some of them fall into the potential well, then they are in a position to extract the potential energy so released.
