A Nova Outburst Powered by Shocks
Kwan-Lok Li, Brian D. Metzger, Laura Chomiuk +13
Classical novae are runaway thermonuclear burning events on the surfaces of accreting white dwarfs in close binary star systems, sometimes appearing as new naked-eye sources in the…
Hot accretion flow in black hole binaries: a link connecting X-rays to the infrared
Alexandra Veledina, Juri Poutanen, Indrek Vurm
Multiwavelength observations of Galactic black hole transients have opened a new path to understanding the physics of the innermost parts of the accretion flows. While the processe…
On the origin of spectral states in accreting black holes
Juri Poutanen, Indrek Vurm
The origin of dramatically different electron distributions responsible for Comptonization in black hole X-ray binaries (BHBs) in their various states is discussed. We solve the co…
Electron thermalization and photon emission from magnetized compact sources
Indrek Vurm, Juri Poutanen
We present detailed calculations of the electron thermalization by synchrotron self-absorption accounting for cooling by Compton scattering. For the first time, we solve coupled ki…
