Investigating the disc-jet coupling in accreting compact objects using the black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127

Understand

In studies of accreting black holes in binary systems, empirical relations have been proposed to quantify the coupling between accretion processes and ejection mechanisms.

• These processes are probed respectively by means of X-ray and radio/optical-infrared observations.
• The relations predict, given certain accretion conditions, the expected energy output in the form of a jet.
• We investigated this coupling by studying the black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127, via multiwavelength coordinated observations over a period of ~4 years.
