Temporal X-ray Properties of Galactic Black Hole Candidates: Observational Data and Theoretical Models
I review the observed temporal X-ray properties of Galactic black hole candidates and the status of theoretical modeling of these properties. Like spectral X-ray properties, which has so far attracted most of the attention, the temporal properties, such as power spectral density, hard X-ray time lags, and coherence functions, contain information on some of the same physical properties of invers...
متن کاملThe Spectral States of Black Hole X-ray Binary Sources
A framework for the interpretation of the spectral states of black hole X-ray transients based on the diversity of accretion disk models is introduced. Depending on the mass accretion rate, it is proposed that the accretion disk is described by one or a combination of the following structures: optically thick disk, advection-dominated disk, corona-disk, and non-steady state disk. In particular,...
متن کاملFormation and Evolution of Black Hole X-ray Transient Systems
We study the formation of low-mass black hole X-ray binaries with main sequence companions that have formed through case C mass transfer (mass transfer following the helium core burning phase of the black hole progenitor). We identify these objects with the observed soft X-ray transients. Although this scenario requires a set of fine tuned conditions, we are able to produce a current Galactic p...
متن کاملBlack Hole Spin in X-ray Binaries: Observational Consequences Ii
In the context of black hole spin in X-ray binaries, we propose that certain type of quasi-period oscillations (QPOs) observed in the light curves of black hole binaries (BHBs) are produced by X-ray modulation at the precession frequency of accretion disks, due to relativistic dragging of inertial frames around spinning black holes. These QPOs tend to be relatively stable in their centroid freq...
متن کاملBlack Hole Spin in X-ray Binaries: Observational Consequences
We discuss the observational consequences of black hole spin in X-ray binaries within the framework of the standard thin accretion disk model. When compared to theoretical flux distribution from the surface of a thin disk surrounding a Kerr black hole, the observed X-ray properties of the Galactic superluminal jet sources, GRO J1655-40 and GRS 1915+105, strongly suggest that each contains a bla...
