X-rays from Quiescent Low-Mass X-ray Binary Transients
Jean-Pierre Lasota
I argue that it is very unlikely that X-rays from quiescent black-hole low-mass X-ray binary transients are emitted by coronae of companion stars. I show that in a simple model in…

On the absence of winds in ADAFs
Marek A. Abramowicz, Jean-Pierre Lasota, Igor V. Igumenshchev
We show that recently published assertions that advection dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) require the presence of strong winds are unfounded because they assume that low radiativ…

The 1996 outburst of GRO J1655-40: disc irradiation and enhanced mass transfer
A. A. Esin, J. -P. Lasota, R. I. Hynes
We show that the 1996 outburst of the X-ray binary transient system GRO J1655-40 can be explained by the standard dwarf-nova type disc instability, followed by an episode of enhanc…
