Speaker: Prof. Andrzej Zdziarski (Copernicus Astronomical Center, Poland) Time: 2:00pm; January 28th Location: 3rd floor; the middle conference room Abstract: The radio flux in the hard state of black hole binaries is strongly correlated with the X-ray flux. I will discuss the dependence of this correlation on the X-ray energy and its extension to other spectral state. The results imply that the jet is formed from the relativistic electrons producing the X-ray spectrum by Comptonization, and rule out models in which the observed X-rays are emitted by the jet.
