Relativistic outflows are believed to be a common feature of black hole X-ray binaries at the lowest accretion rates, when they are in their `quiescent' spectral state. However, we still lack a detailed understanding of how quiescent jet…
We present a unified semi-quantitative model for the disc-jet coupling in black hole X-ray binary systems. We argue that during the rising phase of a black hole transient outburst the steady jet known to be associated with the canonical…
During outbursts, the observational properties of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs) vary on timescales of days to months. These relatively short timescales make these systems ideal laboratories to probe the coupling between accreting…
We have studied the 1999 soft X-ray transient outburst of XTE J1859+226 at radio and X-ray wavelengths. The event was characterised by strong variability in the disc, corona and jet - in particular, a number of radio flares (ejections) took…
The results of X-ray observations of Galactic superluminal jet source GRS 1915+105 during its low luminosity state and state transitions in October, 1996 - April, 1997 with PCA and HEXTE instruments aboard Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE)…
We present the results of the analysis of 11 RXTE/PCA observations of the January 2002 outburst of the black-hole transient XTE J1550-564. The outburst was rather short, with an e-folding time of ~11 days in the PCA band 3-25 keV. The…
A jet model for Galactic black-hole X-ray binaries will be presented that appears to explain several observational characteristics. In particular, it explains the energy spectrum from radio to hard X-rays, the time-lags as a function of…
Here we summarise the Swift broadband observations of the recently discovered X-ray transient and black hole candidate, XTE J1752-223,obtained over the period of outburst from October 2009 to June 2010. We offer a phenomenological treatment…
We extract the spectra of the fastest variability (above 10 Hz) from the black hole XTE J1550-564 during a transition from hard to soft state on the rise to outburst. We confirm previous results that the rapid variability contains no…
We present the long term X-ray light curves, detailed spectral and timing analyses of XTE J1908+094 using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer Proportional Counter Array observations covering two outbursts in 2002 and early 2003. At the onset of…
Galactic black-hole X-ray binaries emit a compact, optically thick, mildy relativistic radio jet when they are in the hard and hard-intermediate states. In a series of papers, we have developed a jet model and have shown, through Monte…
The transient Galactic black hole candidate Swift J151857.0-572147 went through an outburst in March 2024 for the first time. Using publicly archived {\it Insight}-HXMT data, we have analyzed the timing and spectral properties of the…
The black hole X-ray binary GX\,339-4 showed an X-ray outburst during 2021. The {\it AstroSat} captured this outburst when the source entered into the intermediate flux state while the count rate was declining. The source showed an…
We present multi-frequency monitoring observations of the black hole X-ray binary V404 Cygni throughout its June 2015 outburst. Our data set includes radio and mm/sub-mm photometry, taken with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, Arc-Minute…
Recent advancements in the understanding of jet-disc coupling in black hole candidate X-ray binaries (BHXBs) have provided close links between radio jet emission and X-ray spectral and variability behaviour. In 'soft' X-ray states the jets…
We report on X-ray observations of the black-hole candidate GX 339-4 during its 2006/2007 outburst. The hardness-intensity diagram of all RXTE/PCA data combined shows a q-shaped track similar to that observed in previous outbursts. The…
Simultaneous multiwavelength observations were recently performed for three black hole candidates --- SWIFT J1753.5-0127, GRO J1655-40 and XTE J1720-318. In this paper we test the accretion-jet model originally proposed to XTE J1118+480 by…
We present the results of detailed analysis of pointed X-ray observations by RXTE PCA/HEXTE of the black hole X-ray binary (BHXRB) system V4641 Sgr (= SAX J1819.3-2525) during its outburst of August 2003. Soft X-ray (3-20 keV) flux…
We study black hole candidate (BHC) MAXI~J1836-194 during its 2011 outburst with Two Component Advective Flow (TCAF) model using RXTE/PCU2 data in $2.5-25$~keV band. From spectral fit, accretion flow parameters such as Keplerian disk rate…
The accretion/ejection coupling in accreting black hole binaries has been described by empirical relations between the X-ray/radio and X-ray/optical-infrared luminosities. These correlations were initially supposed to be universal. However,…
