XMM-Newton observations of two black hole X-ray transients in quiescence
J. -M. Hameury, D. Barret, J. -P. Lasota +5
We report on XMM-Newton observations of GRO J1655-40 and GRS 1009-45, which are two black hole X-ray transients currently in their quiescent phase. GRO J1655-40 was detected with a…
The Quiescence of Dwarf Novae and X-ray Transients
Kristen Menou
Our understanding of the structure and properties of accretion disks in quiescent Dwarf Novae and X-ray Transients is very limited. Observations during quiescence challenge some of…
Optical Spectroscopy Of The X-Ray Transient XTE J1118+480 In Outburst
Guillaume Dubus, Rita S. J. Kim, Kristen Menou +2
We report on optical spectroscopic observations of the X-ray Transient XTE J1118+480 covering the period from April 7, 2000 to July 4, 2000. The spectrum is characterized by weak,…
Viscosity Mechanisms in Accretion Disks
Kristen Menou
The self-sustained turbulence which develops in magnetized accretion disks is suppressed in the weakly-ionized, quiescent disks of close binary stars. Because accretion still proce…
