‘Disc–Jet’ Coupling in Black Hole X-Ray Binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Jet Paradigm

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 794))

Abstract

In this chapter I will review the status of our phenomenological understanding of the relation between accretion and outflows in accreting black hole systems. This understanding arises primarily from observing the relation between X-ray and longer wavelength (infrared, radio) emission. The view is necessarily a biased one, beginning with observations of X-ray binary systems, and attempting to see if they match with the general observational properties of active galactic nuclei.

Acknowledgments

I owe much of my understanding of this field of research to collaborations and conversations with a large number of people, most notably those who are coauthors with me on a wide range of papers. They know who they are, and if you do not, use ADS. In addition, I would like to thank the participants at the ISSI workshop in January 2008 for helping to further clarify ideas, and Christian Knigge, Mike Goad, and Daniel Proga for discussions about broad line regions and line-driven winds.
