The impact of thermal winds on the outburst lightcurves of black hole X-ray binaries
G. Dubus, C. Done, B. E. Tetarenko +1
The observed signatures of winds from X-ray binaries are broadly consistent with thermal winds, driven by X-ray irradiation of the outer accretion disc. Thermal winds produce mass…
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…
Blunting the Spike: the CV Minimum Period
A. R. King, K. Schenker, J. M. Hameury
The standard picture of CV secular evolution predicts a spike in the CV distribution near the observed short-period cutoff P_0 ~ 78 min, which is not observed. We show that an intr…
Radiation from Dwarf Nova Discs
Irit Idan, Jean-Pierre Lasota, Jean-Marie Hameury +1
We use the Shaviv and Wehrse (1991) code to model the vertical structure and the emission properties of quiescent dwarf nova discs. We find that in the case of HT Cas the quiescent…
A model for WZ Sge with "standard" values of alpha
J. M. Hameury, J. P. Lasota, J. M. Hure
We present a model for the dwarf nova WZ Sge which does not require assuming unusually and unexplained low values of the viscosity alpha-parameter during exceptionally long quiesce…
