The hard to soft spectral transition in LMXBs - affected by recondensation of gas into an inner disk

E. Meyer-Hofmeister, B. F. Liu, F. Meyer

Soft and hard spectral states of X-ray transient sources reflect two modes of accretion, accretion via a geometrically thin, optically thick disk or an advection-dominated accretio…
