SU Uma stars: Rebrightenings after superoutburst

Friedrich Meyer, Emmi Meyer-Hofmeister

SU Uma stars after their long superoutbursts often show single or multiple rebrightenings. We show how this phenomenon can be understood as repeated reflections of transition waves…

The relation between radio and X-ray luminosity of black hole binaries: affected by inner cool disks?

E. Meyer-Hofmeister, F. Meyer

Observations of the black hole X-ray binaries GX 339-4 and V404 Cygni have brought evidence of a strong correlation between radio and X-ray emission during the hard spectral state;…

A nova origin of the gas cloud at the Galactic Center ?

F. Meyer, E. Meyer-Hofmeister

The recent discovery by Gillessen and collaborators of a cloud of gas falling towards the Galactic Center on a highly eccentric orbit, diving nearly straight into the immediate nei…

Coronae above accretion disks around black holes: The effect of Compton cooling

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

The geometry of the accretion flow around stellar mass and supermassive black holes depends on the accretion rate. Broad iron emission lines originating from the irradiation of coo…

Broad iron emission lines in Seyfert Galaxies - re-condensation of gas onto an inner disk below the ADAF

E. Meyer-Hofmeister, F. Meyer

Recent observations of Seyfert 1 AGN with Chandra, XMM-Newton and Suzaku revealed broad iron K_alpha emission lines, some relativistically blurred. For galactic black hole X-ray bi…

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…
