The Definitive All-Sky Observational Study Of Accretion Disc Physics In Galactic Black Hole X-ray Binaries
DownloadFall 2014
Stellar mass black holes (BHs) accreting in binary systems provide valuable insight into how binary systems evolve and how mass is transferred via accretion. Although in recent years a canonical picture of the outburst evolution in black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) has emerged, these systems...
