The complex spectral and timing properties of the high-energy emission from the accretion flow in black-hole binaries, together with their strong connection to the ejection of powerful relativistic jets from the system, can be simplified and reduced to four basic states: hard, hard-intermediate, soft-intermediate and soft. Unlike other classifications, these states are based on the presence of sharp state transitions. I summarize this classification and discuss the relation between these states and the physical components contributing to the emitted flux.

  1. Revisiting the infrared/X-ray correlation of GX 339-4 based on a jet model

    astro-ph.HE 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The observed IR/X-ray correlation of GX 339-4, including its break, can be reproduced by varying only the accretion rate in a jet model if the X-rays come from synchrotron self-Compton scattering in the jet.

  2. Spectro-timing analysis of MAXI J1535-571 using AstroSat

    astro-ph.HE 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    AstroSat observation of MAXI J1535-571 reveals a tight correlation between QPO centroid frequency (1.7-3.0 Hz) and power-law index Gamma while flux increases linearly.
