X-rays from Compton scattering around accreting black holes
Compton scattering is one of the most important radiation processes from accreting compact objects. Hard X-rays can be produced by Compton upscattering of soft seed photons from the accretion disk. Here we use both theoretical and observational methods to investigate the hard X-ray emission around a...
