Abstract: Quiescent black hole X-ray binaries (X-ray luminosities ${\lesssim} 10^{34}\,{\rm erg}\, {\rm s}^{-1}$) are believed to be fed by hot accretion flows that launch compact, relativistic jets. However, due to their low luminosities, quiescent jets have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stx991
Abstract: Timing properties of black hole X-ray binaries in outburst can be modelled with mass accretion rate fluctuations propagating towards the black hole. Such models predict time lags between energy bands due to propagation delays. First… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty2006
Abstract: Using the simultaneous Infra-Red (IR) and X-ray light curves obtained by Kalamkar et al., we perform a Fourier analysis of the IR/X-ray timing correlations of the black hole X-ray binary (BHB) GX 339-4. The resulting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnrasl/slaa096
Abstract: We describe the first complete polarimetric dataset of the entire outburst of a low-mass black hole X-ray binary system and discuss the constraints for geometry and radiative mechanisms it imposes. During the decaying hard state,… read more here.
