2 (Low Mass) X-ray Binaries Low-mass star transferring matter onto Black Hole / Neutron Star via accretion disc Changes occur in human time scales! 2

3 BLACK HOLES are TRANSIENT Quiescence / Outburst see e.g. Casares & Jonker 204 see e.g. Fender & Muñoz-Darias 205 Credit: R. Hynes Credit: R. Hynes Masses of BH, NS Accretion Processes General Relativity

4 Black Holes in Outburst (active) Credit: R. Hynes Corona Jet Accretion disc Companion star Corona: Hard X-rays (up to 00 kev-mev) Accretion disc: Soft X-rays (few kev) to Infrared Jet: Radio to infrared/optical to high-energies(?) [NOT ALWAYS]

14 THE BALANCE OF POWER Fender & Muñoz-Darias 205 It might be fundamental in the outburst evolution

15 INTERMEDIATE 0.0 X-ray Colour / variability

17 NEUTRON STARS LOOK DIFFERENT... Atolls Z sources van der Klis 2006 (Hasinger & van der Klis 989) Spectral fitting (more) degenerate. Extra component from the NS surface Very similar Timing properties than BHs (Wijnands & van der Klis 999; Belloni, Psaltis & van der Klis 2002).

18 NEUTRON STARS LOOK DIFFERENT... FAINT NS (~-50% LEDD) BRIGHT NS (up to LEDD) van der Klis 2006 (Hasinger & van der Klis 989) After the transient XTE J (e.g. Lin, Remillard & Homan 2009)
