Evaporation: The change from accretion via a thin disk to a coronal flow
Friedrich Meyer, Bifang Liu, Emmi Meyer-Hofmeister
We present a model for a corona above a geometrically thin standard disk around a black hole. This corona is fed by matter from the thin disk which evaporates from the cool layers…

A limit for the mass transfer rate in soft X-ray transients
E. Meyer-Hofmeister, F. Meyer
Many black hole X-ray transients are in a low state for several decades until an outburst occurs. We interpret this outburst behaviour as a marginal occurrence of a dwarf nova type…

Black hole X-ray binaries: A new view on soft-hard spectral transitions
F. Meyer, B. F. Liu, E. Meyer-Hofmeister
The theory of coronal evaporation predicts the formation of an inner hole in the cool thin accretion disk for mass accretion rates below a certain value (~ 1/50 of the Eddington ma…
