Eight powers of ten: similarities in black hole accretion on all mass scales
Rob Fender, Elmar Koerding, Tomaso Belloni +3
In this paper we discuss the recent advances in the quantitative comparison of accretion, and the accretion:jet coupling, in accreting black holes in both X-ray binaries (where M ~…
The Radio Variability of the Gravitational Lens PMN J1838-3427
Joshua N. Winn, James E. J. Lovell, Hayley Bignall +8
We present the results of a radio variability study of the gravitational lens PMN J1838-3427. Our motivation was to determine the Hubble constant by measuring the time delay betwee…
An ultra-relativistic outflow from a neutron star accreting gas from a companion
Rob Fender, Kinwah Wu, Helen Johnston +4
Collimated relativistic outflows, or jets, are amongst the most energetic and relativistic phenomena in the Universe. They are associated with supermassive black holes in distant a…
A transient large-scale relativistic radio jet from GX 339-4
Elena Gallo, Stephane Corbel, Rob Fender +2
We report on the formation and evolution of a large-scale, synchrotron-emitting jet from the black hole candidate and X-ray binary system GX 339-4. In 2002 May, the source moved fr…
Chandra Detections of Two Quiescent Black Hole X-Ray Transients
John A. Tomsick, Stephane Corbel, Rob Fender +6
Using the Chandra X-ray Observatory, we have detected the black hole transients V4641 Sgr and XTE J1859+226 in their low luminosity, quiescent states. The 0.3-8 keV luminosities ar…
X-Ray Jet Emission from the Black Hole X-Ray Binary XTE J1550-564 with Chandra in 2000
John A. Tomsick, Stephane Corbel, Rob Fender +5
We have discovered an X-ray jet due to material ejected from the black hole X-ray transient XTE J1550-564. The discovery was first reported by Corbel et al. (Science, 298, 196 and…
