A self-regulating braking mechanism in black-hole X-ray binaries
The outbursts of black hole X-ray transients can be understood as caused by a limit cycle instability in the accretion disk, similar to dwarf nova outbursts. For adequately low mass overflow rates from the companion star long outburst recurrence times are expected. But the fact that we find predomin...
