The impact of thermal winds on the outburst lightcurves of black hole X-ray binaries

G. Dubus, C. Done, B. E. Tetarenko +1

The observed signatures of winds from X-ray binaries are broadly consistent with thermal winds, driven by X-ray irradiation of the outer accretion disc. Thermal winds produce mass…
