Black–Hole Transients and the Eddington Limit
I show that the Eddington limit implies a critical orbital period Pcrit(BH) ' 2 d beyond which black–hole LMXBs cannot appear as persistent systems. The unusual behaviour of GRO J1655-40 may result from its location close to this critical period.
متن کاملThe Physics of Black Hole X-ray Transients
The most plausible mechanism for triggering the outburst of black hole candidate X-ray transients is the ionization thermal instability. The disk instability models can give the observed mass flow in quiescence, but not the X-ray spectrum. Self-irradiation of the disk in outburst may not lead to X-ray reprocessing as the dominant source of optical light, but may play a role in the “reflare.” Th...
متن کاملThe Formation of Black–Hole X–Ray Transients
Studies of the observed characteristics of black–hole (BH) X–ray binaries can be provide us with valuable information about the process of BH formation. In this paper I address some of the aspects of our current understanding of BH formation in binaries and point out some of the existing problems of current theoretical models. In particular, the measured orbital periods and donor–star propertie...
متن کاملChandra Detections of Two Quiescent Black Hole X-ray Transients
Using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, we have detected the black hole transients V4641 Sgr and XTE J1859 226 in their low-luminosity quiescent states. The 0.3–8 keV luminosities are (d/7 kpc) ergs s 1 and 3.3 31 (4.0 ) # 10 2.4 (d/11 kpc) ergs s 1 for V4641 Sgr and XTE J1859 226, respectively. With the addition of 4.8 31 (4.2 ) # 10 2.2 these two systems, 14 out of the 15 transients with confirm...
متن کاملOn the outbursts of black hole soft X-ray transients
We suggest a new scenario to explain the outburst light curves of black hole soft X-ray transients together with the secondary maximum and the bump seen on their decay phases. Our explanations are based on the disk instability models considering the effect of X-ray irradiation. The scenario is consistent with the observed X-ray delays by a few days with respect to the optical rise for both the ...
