Multiwavelength variability of black hole x-ray binaries in the low/hard state

The behaviour of black hole X-ray binaries can be classified into five spectral states which are defined in terms of the X-ray spectral and timing properties of the source. These states show distinct and observable characteristics and transitions from one state to another often take place. Perhaps t...
