A model for the Z-track phenomenon in GX 5-1 and observational evidence for the physical origins of the kHz QPO
N. K. Jackson, M. J. Church, M. Balucinska-Church
We present results of a combined investigation of the spectral and kHz QPO evolution around the Z-track in GX 5-1 based on high-quality RXTE data. The Extended ADC emission model p…

A model for the Z-track phenomenon, jet formation and the kilohertz QPO based on Rossi-XTE observations of the Z-track sources
M. J. Church, M. Balucinska-Church, N. K. Jackson +1
We present a new model for the Z-track phenomenon, based on analysis of the spectral evolution around the Z-track in several Z-track sources, in which radiation pressure plays a ma…

Measurements of accretion disc corona size in LMXB: consequences for Comptonization and LMXB models
M. J. Church, M. Balucinska-Church
We present results of measurements of the radial extent of the accretion disc corona in low mass X-ray binaries. These results prove conclusively the extended nature of the ADC, wi…
