Outbursts of the black hole (BH) X-ray binaries are dramatic events occurring in our Galaxy approximately once a year. They are detected by the X-ray telescopes and often monitored at longer wavelengths. We analyse the X-ray and…

The theoretical predictions of the converging inflow, or Bulk-Motion Comptonization model are discussed and some predictions are compared to X- and gamma-ray observations of the high/soft state of Galactic black hole candidate XTE…

We report on the evolution of the X-ray energy spectrum for the black hole candidate (BHC) X-ray transient XTE J1550-564 during the decay of the 2000 outburst. The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) and Chandra observations span nearly five…

Observations of galactic BHCs made by the Compton GRO in the hard X-ray and gamma-ray bands have significantly enhanced our knowledge of the emission properties of these objects. Understanding these observations presents a formidable…

The emission from the accreting black holes (BHs) in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) covers a broad energy band from radio to X-rays. Studying the correlations between emission in different energy bands during outbursts can provide valuable…

We study the time variability and spectral evolution of the Black Hole Candidate source XTE J1650-500 using the BeppoSax wide energy range (0.12-200 keV) observations performed during the 2001 X-ray outburst. The source evolves from a…

We study Compton upscattering of low-frequency photons in a converging flow of thermal plasma. The photons escape diffusively and electron scattering is the dominant source of opacity. We solve numerically and approximately analytically the…

The 1998 outburst of the bright Galactic black hole binary system XTE J1550-564 was used to constrain the accretion disc structure in the strongly Comptonised very high state spectra. These data show that the disc emission is not easily…

The origin of dramatically different electron distributions responsible for Comptonization in black hole X-ray binaries (BHBs) in their various states is discussed. We solve the coupled kinetic equations for photons and electrons without…

The spectral and temporal evolution during X-ray outbursts give important clues on the accretion process and radiation mechanism in black-hole X-ray binaries (BH XRBs). A set of Swift and RXTE observations were executed to monitor the 2008…

We have performed Monte Carlo simulations of Compton upscattering of low-energy photons in an accretion disk around a Schwarzschild black hole. The photons gain energy from the rotational motion of the electrons in the disk. The…

The 1998 September outburst of the black-hole X-ray binary XTE J1550-564 was monitored at X-ray, optical and radio wavelengths. We divide the outburst sequence into five phases and discuss their multiwavelength properties. The outburst…

Most black hole candidates exhibit characteristic power-law like hard X-ray emission above $\sim$ 10 keV. In the {\em high state}, in which 2 -- 10 keV luminosity is relatively high, the energy index of the hard X-ray emission is usually…

We test the truncated disc models using multiwavelength (optical/UV/X-ray) data from the 2005 hard state outburst of the black hole SWIFT J1753.5-0127. This system is both fairly bright and has fairly low interstellar absorption, so gives…

We re-investigated the `spectro-temporal' behaviour of the source XTE J1859+226 in X-rays during its outburst phase in 1999, by analysing the RXTE PCA/HEXTE data in 2 - 150 keV spectral band. Detailed analysis shows that although the…

We report on simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of the black hole candidate XTE J1650-500 during the course of its 2001-2002 outburst. The scheduling of the observations allowed us to sample the properties of XTE J1650-50 in…

The 1998 outburst of XTE J1550-564 started with a hard X-ray spike, rising in less than a day and declining after 3-4 days; at the same time, the soft X-ray flux was rising with a longer timescale (~ 10 days). We suggest that the soft and…

Galactic black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs) provide excellent laboratories to study accretion, as their relatively quick evolution allows us to monitor large changes in the in-flowing and/or out-flowing material over human timescales.…

It has long been speculated that the nature of the hard X-ray corona may be an important second driver of black hole state transitions, in addition to the mass accretion rate through the disk. However, a clear physical picture of coronal…

We explore the evolution in power of black holes of all masses, and their associated jets, within the scheme of an accretion rate-dependent state transition. Below a critical value of the accretion rate all systems are assumed to undergo a…
