Variability as a Predictor for the Hard-to-soft State Transition in GX 339−4

Variability as a Predictor for the Hard-to-soft State Transition in GX 339−4

During the outbursts of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs), their accretion flows transition through several states. The source luminosity rises in the hard state, dominated by nonthermal emission, before transitioning to the blackbody-dominated soft state. As the luminosity decreases, the source tr...
