On the variation of black hole accretion disc radii as a function of state and accretion rate
On the variation of black hole accretion disc radii as a function of state and accretion rate
Black hole binary transients undergo dramatic evolution in their X-ray timing and spectral behaviour during outbursts. In recent years a paradigm has arisen in which "soft" X-ray states are associated with an inner disc radius at, or very close to, the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) around the black hole, …
