THE BLACK HOLE MASS DISTRIBUTION IN THE GALAXY (2010, background): “For additional information and references on many of these systems, see Table 4.3 and text in McClintock & Remillard (2006).”
DISCOVERY OF A SUPERLUMINAL Fe K ECHO AT THE GALACTIC CENTER: THE GLORIOUS PAST OF Sgr A* PRESERVED BY MOLECULAR CLOUDS (2010, result): “…(being a predicted feature of the model) is not required anymore and the direct power law emission has a steeper spectral index, consistent now with the values observed in AGN (Ponti et al. 2006; Dadina et al. 2007; Bianchi et al. 2009) and accreting Galactic sources (McClintock & Remillard 2006).”
Irradiation of an accretion disc by a jet: general properties and implications for spin measurements of black holes (2013, background): “…continuum is a power-law with an exponential cutoff that can be well described by a Comptonization continuum with (relativistically smeared) reflection, and a soft state in which thermal emission from an accretion disc dominates the emission (see, e.g., McClintock & Remillard 2006, for a review).”
The Ultraluminous State (2009, methodology): “Insteadit 1 It should also be noted that band pass is a potential problem in comparing ULX results with those of BHBs.”
The Masses and Spins of Neutron Stars and Stellar-Mass Black Holes (2014, background): “ery stellar-mass black hole shows continuum emission from the disk, as well as disk reﬂection, only a minority show high frequency QPOs, and a smaller minority manifest QPOs in a 3:2 frequency ratio ([292, 312]; note that GRS 1915+105 has two such pairs, one pair at 67 Hz and 41 Hz and the other at ”
A New Sample of Low-Mass Black Holes in Active Galaxies (2007, background): “Weak radio emission is part of Eigenvector 1 (e.g., Boroson & Green 1992), and mirrors the general tendency for BHs of all masses to be radio-quiet when in high accretion states (e.g., McClintock & Remillard 2006).”
Ergoregion instability of ultracompact astrophysical objects (2007, background): “[70] J.”
The Accretion Disk Wind in the Black Hole GRO J1655–40 (2008, background): “Of the approximately 20 X-ray binaries in which dynamical constraints demand a black hole primary (see McClintock & Remillard 2006), the parameters of GRO J1655−40 are best understood.”
Global optical/infrared-X-ray correlations in X-ray binaries: quantifying disc and jet contributions (2006, background): “…spectrum and strong variability and the soft (or high/soft ; thermal–dominant) state, where a thermal spectrum dominates with a powerlaw contribution (see McClintock & Remillard 2006 for a review of X-ray states; see also Homan et al. 2001; Fender, Belloni & Gallo 2004; Homan & Belloni 2005).”
The 'universal' radio/X-ray flux correlation : the case study of the black hole GX 339-4 (2012, background): “Stellar mass black holes (BH) in accreting binaries undergo occasional outbursts with transitions between differ- ent spectral states, usually defined by their X-ray spectral and timing properties (McClintock & Remillard 2006; Belloni 2010).”
Radiation Backgrounds at Cosmic Dawn: X-Rays from Compact Binaries (2016, methodology): “The transition between low-hard and high-soft states in both cases is observed to occur at a luminosity of about 5% LEdd (McClintock & Remillard 2006).”
A systematic look at the Very High and Low/Hard state of GX 339-4: Constraining the black hole spin with a new reflection model (2008, background): “Observations have been made on multiple occasions in various spectral states from the “low/hard” to the “very high state” (VHS; for a recent review on the different spectral sttes see e.g. McClintock & Remillard 2006).”
Ultraluminous X-ray sources in the Chandra and XMM-Newton era (2011, background): “There are more than 20 BHs identified in X-ray binaries with dynamically measured 4To avoid confusion with the acronym ”SMBH” usually adopted for supermassive black holes. masses≈ 5–15M⊙ (for reviews see McClintock & Remillard 2006; Remillard & McClintock 2006).”
Low-frequency oscillations in black holes: a spectral-timing approach to the case of GX 339-4 (2011, background): “Four main bright states (in addition to the quiescent state) have been identified in these sources, based on their spectral and timing properties (for a review Homan & Belloni 2005; McClintock & Remillard 2006; Belloni 2010).”
X-Ray Properties of Black-Hole Binaries (2006, methodology): “We begin our discussion of individual sources with GRO J1655–40, the BHB used in §4.2 to illustrate the BH states (McClintock & Remillard 2006).”
