An examination of black hole binaries using X-ray observations and the development of the Bragg Reflection Polarimeter
Black hole binaries (BHBs) consist of a black hole which accretes matter from a companion star and emits radiation primarily in the X-ray band. They are known to evolve through various states of emission, which are believed to signify changes in the accretion geometry. MAXI J1659--152 is a recently...
