Radio jets and X-ray states in black hole X-ray binaries

Elena Gallo (UC Santa Barbara) - Nov 20 at 12:00 noon

Galactic black hole X-ray binaries provide an excellent laboratoy for investigating the physics of time-variable accretion processes and related phenomena, most notably outflows. I will review the latest progresses made in assessing the interplay between inflow and outflow in these systems from an observational point of view, present a unified phenomenological model for black hole X-ray binary jets over the different accretion regimes and briefly discuss the differences and similarities with neutron star systems.

The seminar will be held in 544 Campbell Hall.
