'Disc-jet' coupling in black hole X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2014-11-20 v1

Abstract

In this chapter I will review the status of our phenomenological understanding of the relation between accretion and outflows in accreting black hole systems. This understanding arises primarily from observing the relation between X-ray and longer wavelength (infrared, radio) emission. The view is necessarily a biased one, beginning with observations of X-ray binary systems, and attempting to see if they match with the general observational properties of active galactic nuclei.
