Multi-band PCCDs for MAXI J1348-630, MAXI J1820+070 and Swift J1727.8-1613 show general consistency with RXTE hue regions in hard states, some soft-state deviations, energy-band differences, and a non-looping very high state signature.

abstract
State transitions during outbursts of black hole X-ray binaries exhibit complex, rapidly evolving disk-corona coupling. Understanding this dynamic phase is essential for deciphering accretion physics and the mechanisms that drive outbursts, yet it remains poorly understood because of the scarcity of high-quality, high-cadence observations. Here, we present an analysis of observations from the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) during the 2023 outburst of the newly discovered low-mass black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.8-1613. Follow-up, high-cadence monitoring reveals pronounced variability in disk emission, attributable to fluctuations in the accretion rate. These disk fluctuations exhibit damped amplitudes and shortened flare periods. This evolving disk emission modulates the supply of soft seed photons to the corona, producing a dynamically changing positive correlation between the photon index $\Gamma$ and the Comptonization luminosity $L_{\rm Comp}$. As the transition proceeds, the correlation shifts toward higher $\Gamma$ and a narrower range of $L_{\rm Comp}$. We further suggest that the damped disk variability arises from fluctuations generated at large disk radii and propagating inward, possibly linked to the thermal-viscous disk instability.

Multi-wavelength data from SDSS J1430+2303 are interpreted as evidence that radiation pressure instabilities drive a shrinking unstable accretion-disk zone, based on timing analysis, weak soft excess, and SED-derived black-hole parameters.
