A physical model for state transitions in black hole X-ray binaries
Chris Nixon, Greg Salvesen
We present an accretion cycle which can explain state transitions and other observed phenomena in black hole X-ray binaries. This model is based on the process of disc tearing, whe…
Spectral hardening as a viable alternative to disc truncation in black hole state transitions
Greg Salvesen, Jon M. Miller, Rubens C. Reis +1
Constraining the accretion flow geometry of black hole binaries in outburst is complicated by the inability of simplified multi-colour disc models to distinguish between changes in…
Quantifying energetics and dissipation in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Greg Salvesen, Kris Beckwith, Jacob B. Simon +2
We perform a suite of two- and three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations with the Athena code of the non-driven Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the subsonic, weak mag…
