On the Role of Irradiation and Evaporation in Strongly Irradiated Accretion Disks in the Black Hole X-Ray Binaries: Toward an Understanding of FREDs and Secondary Maxima
{{output}}
We examine a new paradigm to account for the exponential decay seen in the light curves of some of the bright X-ray novae. These systems show an exponential decay in soft X-rays with an e-folding time constant of approximately 30 days. We investigate a scenari... ...
