Reviews

From the reviews: This book is a collection of chosen and commented articles on the subject of X-ray binaries, black hole systems and quasars. The authors first introduce a possible unified model for black hole X-ray binary jets. The discussion then continues with the relationship between these jets and the active galactic nuclei. ! contains a lot of good references to papers of the most renown authors on black hole accretion. ! is an inescapable reference for researchers working in experimental astrophysics.
