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…

Time-dependent modeling of radiative processes in hot magnetized plasmas
Indrek Vurm, Juri Poutanen
Numerical simulations of radiative processes in magnetized compact sources such as hot accretion disks around black holes, relativistic jets in active galaxies and gamma-ray bursts…

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…
