Coronal outflow dominated accretion discs: a new possibility for low luminosity black holes?
A. Merloni, A. C. Fabian
The spectral energy distributions of galactic black holes in the low/hard state and of low-luminosity AGN possess many common features, the most prominent being: compact, flat (or…
XTE J1118+480: Clues on the Nature of the Accretion Flow from the Optical Variability
A. Merloni, T. Di Matteo, A. C. Fabian
We show how the simultaneous presence of a strong quasi periodic oscillation (QPO) of period of about 10 seconds in the optical and X-ray lightcurves of the X-ray transient XTE J11…
Quiescent times in gamma-ray bursts: II. Dormant periods in the central engine?
Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Andrea Merloni, Martin J. Rees
Within the framework of the internal-external shocks model for gamma-ray bursts, we study the various mechanisms that can give rise to quiescent times in the observed gamma-ray lig…
Quiescent times in gamma-ray bursts: I. An observed correlation between the durations of subsequent emission episodes
Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Andrea Merloni
Although more than 2000 astronomical gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been detected, the precise progenitor responsible for these events is unknown. The temporal phenomenology observed…
