RADIATION PRESSURE AND MASS EJECTION IN ρ-LIKE STATES OF GRS 1915+105

We present a unifying scenario to address the physical origin of the diversity of X-ray light curves within the ρ variability class of the microquasar GRS 1915+105. This "heartbeat" state is characterized by a bright flare that recurs every ~50-100 s, but the profile and duration of the fl...
