Black-hole (BH) high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) systems are likely to be the progenitors of BH-BH mergers detected in gravitational waves by LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA (LVK). Yet merging …
The classical radiation pressure instability has been a persistent theoretical feature of thin, radiatively efficient accretion discs with accretion rates 1 per cent–100 per cent of the …

Despite their factor of∼ 10 8 difference in black hole mass, several lines of evidence suggest possible similarities between black hole accretion flows in active galactic nuclei …
In this paper, we present an updated version of our model (KYNXiltr) which considers thermal reverberation of a standard Novikov–Thorne accretion disc illuminated by an X-ray …
We report multiwavelength observations and characterization of the ultraluminous transient AT 2021lwx (ZTF20abrbeie; aka" Barbie") identified in the alert stream of the Zwicky …

We simultaneously and successfully fit the multiepoch X-ray spectra of the tidal disruption event (TDE) 3XMM J215022. 4− 055108 using a modified version of our relativistic slim disk …
The presence of spacetime singularities in physically relevant solutions of the Einstein Equations is normally interpreted as a symptom of the breakdown of classical general …

After the first quasiperiodic eruption (QPE; GSN 069) was reported in 2019, four other sources have been identified as a QPE or a candidate. However, the physics behind QPEs …
