Observational constraints on the powering mechanism of transient relativistic jets

D. M. Russell, E. Gallo, R. P. Fender

We revisit the paradigm of the dependency of jet power on black hole spin in accreting black hole systems. In a previous paper we showed that the luminosity of compact jets continu…

Jet spectral breaks in black hole X-ray binaries

D. M. Russell, S. Markoff, P. Casella +10

In X-ray binaries, compact jets are known to commonly radiate at radio to infrared frequencies, whereas at optical to gamma-ray energies, the contribution of the jet is debated. Th…
