Accretion in Stellar-Mass Black Holes at High X-ray Spectral Resolution
Abstract
Accretion disks around stellar-mass black holes are optimal regimes in which to make observational tests of seminal theory that applies across the mass scale. High X-ray spectral resolution will enable the most incisive tests. This white paper briefly reviews the key ideas and examines three case studies.
