Optical Lightcurves of the Black Hole Binaries GRS 1124-68 and A0620-00 in Outburst: the Importance of Irradiation

Ann A. Esin, Erik Kuulkers, Jeffrey E. McClintock +1

We test whether the model proposed by Esin et al. to explain X-ray observations of the black hole soft X-ray transient GRS 1124-68 in outburst can also explain the optical lightcur…

Electron-Positron Pairs in Hot Accretion Flows and Thin Disk Coronae

Ann A. Esin

We investigate equilibrium accretion flows dominated by pairs. We consider one- and two-temperature accretion disk coronae above a thin disk, as well as hot optically thi…
