Polarized x-rays constrain the disk-jet geometry in the black hole x-ray binary Cygnus X-1 [PDF]
Science, 2022 A black hole x-ray binary (XRB) system forms when gas is stripped from a normal star and accretes onto a black hole, which heats the gas sufficiently to emit x-rays.H. Krawczynski, F.

Nature Astronomy, 2020 Low-frequency quasiperiodic oscillations (LFQPOs) are commonly found in black hole X-ray binaries, and their origin is still under debate. The properties of LFQPOs at high energies (above 30 keV) are closely related to the nature of the accretion flow in Xiang Ma, L. Tao, S. Zhang, Liang Zhang, Q. Bu, M. Ge, Yupeng Chen, J.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Winds of massive stars are suspected to be inhomogeneous (or clumpy), which biases the measures of their mass-loss rates. In high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), the compact object can be used as an orbiting X-ray point source to probe the wind and ...Pragati Pradhan, Carlo Ferrigno, Biswajit Paul, Enrico Bozzo, Ileyk El Mellah, David P.
