Black hole accretion? More like, can I get a-reason this X-ray binary looks like that?

Black hole accretion? More like, can I get a-reason this X-ray binary looks like that?

by Chloe Klare | Jun 10, 2026 | Daily Paper Summaries

Black hole accretion must be SANE or MAD, right? Maybe not…read to learn more!

What exactly is happening during a gamma-ray burst? Maybe, the lowest frequency radio observations have the answer!

What exactly is happening during a gamma-ray burst? Maybe, the lowest frequency radio observations have the answer!

In today’s paper, our authors model what shenanigans will occur (or not?) when we slam two plasmas together!

Quasars at Work: My photons come from a land where the accretion disks glow and the X-ray coronas plunder (energy from the disk)

Quasars at Work: My photons come from a land where the accretion disks glow and the X-ray coronas plunder (energy from the disk)

by Chloe Klare | Sep 9, 2025 | Daily Paper Summaries

In this exciting new paper, our authors show that in quasars, X-ray coronas fueled by energy stolen from the accretion disk around the black hole may be responsible for the interesting ultraviolet and optical emission we see!
