The advection-dominated accretion flow for the origin of the thermal soft X-ray component in low-level accreting neutron stars
Erlin Qiao, B. F. Liu
A thermal soft X-ray component is often detected in low-level accreting neutron stars (NSs), but is not detected in low-level accreting stellar-mass black holes (BHs). In this pape…

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…
