Insight-HXMT observations of jet-like corona in a black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070

Bei You, Yuoli Tuo, Chengzhe Li +123

A black hole X-ray binary produces hard X-ray radiation from its corona and disk when the accreting matter heats up. During an outburst, the disk and corona co-evolves with each ot…
