Accretion and outflow in black-hole x-ray binaries
Black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs) are stellar binary systems consisting of a black hole (BH) and a companion star. They are known to produce X-ray emission through the accretion of mass from the companion star onto the black hole via an accretion disc, as well as radio emission originating from thei...
