Amplitudes of X-ray variability in accreting black holes

The properties of X-ray variability from accreting black holes reveal much about conditions close to the event horizon. Observing common timing signals in many objects, suggests similarities within their accretion flows. To further this aim this thesis presents a systematic survey of the short term...
