About this document
Black Hole X-ray Binary Spectral States by Célio Lima is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes a framework for interpreting the spectral states of black hole X-ray binaries based on different accretion disk models. It proposes that the very high, high, low, and off states correspond to decreasing mass accretion rates. The very high state has a non-steady inner region surrounded by an optically thick disk. The high state can have an optically thin or thick inner region. The low hard state corresponds to a disk-corona system, while the off state has an optically thin, advection
