Accretion geometry in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries during the hard spectral state
Emmi Meyer-Hofmeister, Yilong Wang, B. F. Liu
We investigate the accretion geometry in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in the hard spectral state. It is commonly accepted that, for low mass transfer rates, an adve…
A large population of neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries with long outburst recurrence time ?
E. Meyer-Hofmeister, Huaqing Cheng, B. F. Liu
Low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) with neutron stars show quite different features which depend on the rate of mass transfer from the donor star. With a high transfer rate the Z sour…
Wind accretion in Cygnus X-1
Emmi Meyer-Hofmeister, B. F. Liu, E. Qiao +1
Context: Cygnus X-1 is a black hole X-ray binary system in which the black hole captures and accretes gas from the strong stellar wind emitted by its supergiant O9.7 companion star…
A Model for Spectral States and Their Transition in Cyg X-1
Ronald E. Taam, Erlin Qiao, B. F. Liu +1
A new accretion picture based on a small disk surrounding a black hole is developed for the wind-fed source Cyg X-1. The hard and soft spectral states of Cyg X-1 are interpreted in…
Interaction of the accretion flows in corona and disk near the black hole in AGN
E. Meyer-Hofmeister, B. F. Liu, E. Qiao
Accretion flows toward black holes can be of a quite different nature, described as an optically thick cool gas flow in a disk for high accretion rates or as a hot coronal opticall…
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…
