在这篇综述中,我们讨论了我们银河系和更远的恒星质量黑洞的人口,这是大质量星星演化的极端端点。特别是,我们专注于我们如何可以尝试平衡可用的吸积能量与反馈到环境中通过辐射,喷气机和风,考虑也可能的贡献,从黑洞旋转和平流的能量平衡。我们定量地回顾了用于估计这些量的方法,无论接近黑洞的天体物理学的细节如何。一旦这些方法已经概述,我们的工作通过一个黑洞X射线双星系统的爆发,估计通过不同的吸积速率和状态的质量和能量流。虽然我们专注于从恒星质量黑洞的X射线双星系统的反馈,我们也认为我们所学到的超大质量黑洞在活动星系核的适用性。作为一个重要的控制样本,我们还审查了中子星吸积和反馈之间的耦合,并表明它是非常相似的黑洞中观察到的,这强烈限制了有多少反馈的天体物理学可以是独特的黑洞。
In this review we discuss the population of stellar-mass black holes in our galaxy and beyond, which are the extreme endpoints of massive star evolution. In particular we focus on how we can attempt to balance the available accretion energy with feedback to the environment via radiation, jets and winds, considering also possible contributions to the energy balance from black hole spin and advection. We review quantitatively the methods which are used to estimate these quantities, regardless of the details of the astrophysics close to the black hole. Once these methods have been outlined, we work through an outburst of a black hole X-ray binary system, estimating the flow of mass and energy through the different accretion rates and states. While we focus on feedback from stellar mass black holes in X-ray binary systems, we also consider the applicability of what we have learned to supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei. As an important control sample we also review the coupling between accretion and feedback in neutron stars, and show that it is very similar to that observed in black holes, which strongly constrains how much of the astrophysics of feedback can be unique to black holes.
