[HTML][HTML] Ultraluminous X-ray sources

A King, JP Lasota, M Middleton - New Astronomy Reviews, 2023 - Elsevier
The study of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) has changed dramatically over the last
decade. In this review we first describe the most important observations of ULXs in various …

A review of quasi-periodic oscillations from black hole X-ray binaries: observation and theory

AR Ingram, SE Motta - New Astronomy Reviews, 2019 - Elsevier
Black hole and neutron star X-ray binary systems routinely show quasi-periodic oscillations
(QPOs) in their X-ray flux. Despite being strong, easily measurable signals, their physical …

Measuring fundamental jet properties with multiwavelength fast timing of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+ 070

AJ Tetarenko, P Casella… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
We present multiwavelength fast timing observations of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI

A shared accretion instability for black holes and neutron stars

FM Vincentelli, J Neilsen, AJ Tetarenko, Y Cavecchi… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
Accretion disks around compact objects are expected to enter an unstable phase at high
luminosity. One instability may occur when the radiation pressure generated by accretion …

The luminous, hard state can't be MAD

PC Fragile, K Chatterjee, A Ingram… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We present a straightforward argument for why the luminous, hard state of black hole X-ray
binaries (BHXRBs) cannot always be associated with a magnetically arrested accretion disc …

Disc–jet coupling in the 2009 outburst of the black hole candidate H1743− 322

JCA Miller-Jones, GR Sivakoff… - Monthly Notices of …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
We present an intensive radio and X-ray monitoring campaign on the 2009 outburst of the
Galactic black hole candidate X-ray binary H1743− 322. With the high angular resolution of …

Jet spectral breaks in black hole X-ray binaries

DM Russell, S Markoff, P Casella… - Monthly Notices of …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
In X-ray binaries, compact jets are known to commonly radiate at radio to infrared
frequencies, whereas at optical to γ-ray energies, the contribution of the jet is debated. The …

A variable mid-infrared synchrotron break associated with the compact jet in GX 339–4

P Gandhi, AW Blain, DM Russell… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Many X-ray binaries remain undetected in the mid-infrared, a regime where emission from
their compact jets is likely to dominate. Here, we report the detection of the black hole binary …
