Swift observations of black hole candidate XTE J1752-223 during outburst
P. A. Curran, P. Casella, T. J. Maccarone +5
Here we summarise the Swift broadband observations of the recently discovered X-ray transient and black hole candidate, XTE J1752-223,obtained over the period of outburst from Octo…
Fast multiwavelength variability from jets in X-ray binaries
Piergiorgio Casella, Thomas J. Maccarone, Kieran O'Brien
While jets appear as a fundamental result of accretion processes onto compact objects in X-ray binaries, there is as yet no standard model for their underlying physics. The origin…
A Model for Emission from Jets in X-ray Binaries: Consequences of a Single Acceleration Episode
Asaf Pe'er, Piergiorgio Casella
There are strong evidence for powerful jets in the low/hard state of black-hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs). Here, we present a model in which electrons are accelerated once at the bas…
