Self - bound CFL stars in binary systems : are they “ hidden ” among the black hole candidates ?
The identification of black holes is one of the most important tasks of modern astrophysics. Candidates have been selected among binary stars based on a high mass function, and seriously considered when the lower mass limit exceeds ∼ 3M⊙. More recently the absence of (Type I) thermonuclear bursts has been advanced as an additional criterion in favor of the black hole interpretation, since the a...
متن کاملHow Black Are Black Hole Candidates?
In previous work we found that many of the spectral properties of x-ray binaries, including both galactic black hole candiates (GBHC) and neutron stars, were consistent with the existence of intrinsically magnetized central objects. Here we review and extend the observational evidence for the existence of intrinsically magnetized GBHC and show that their existence is consistent with a new class...
متن کاملGalactic Black Hole Binary Systems
I review observations of the X–ray spectra of Galactic Black Hole Candidates, and theoretical ideas as to how these can be produced. X–ray reflection should enable different source geometries to be distinguished, but the ionisation instability of X–ray irradiated material in hydrostatic equilibrium gives rise to large ambiguities in interpretation. It is not currently possible to determine whet...
متن کاملAre Q - stars a serious threat for stellar - mass black hole candidates ?
We examine the status of the threat posed to stellar-mass black hole candidates by the possible existence of Q-stars (compact objects with an exotic equation of state which might have masses well above the normally-accepted maximum for standard neutron stars). We point out that Q-stars could be extremely compact (with radii less than 1.5 times the corresponding Schwarzschild radius) making it q...
متن کاملGravitational Waves from Binary Black Hole Mergers inside Stars.
We present results from a controlled numerical experiment investigating the effect of stellar density gas on the coalescence of binary black holes (BBHs) and the resulting gravitational waves (GWs). This investigation is motivated by the proposed stellar core fragmentation scenario for BBH formation and the associated possibility of an electromagnetic counterpart to a BBH GW event. We employ fu...
