The 2022 Outburst of IGR J17091–3624: Connecting the Exotic GRS 1915+105 to Standard Black Hole X-Ray Binaries

The 2022 Outburst of IGR J17091–3624: Connecting the Exotic GRS 1915+105 to Standard Black Hole X-Ray Binaries

While the standard X-ray variability of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs) is stochastic and noisy, there are two known BHXBs that exhibit exotic “heartbeat”-like variability in their lightcurves: GRS 1915+105 and IGR J17091–3624. In 2022, IGR J17091–3624 went into outburst for the first time in the...
