Geometry of X-ray sources in accreting black-hole binaries Andrzej A. Zdziarski N. Copernicus Astronomical Center, Warsaw The structure of the X-ray sources in the hard spectral state of accreting black-hole binaries has been a subject of intense debate. The paradigm dominant for many years postulated that the accretion disc in the hard state is truncated at some radius >> the innermost stable orbit (ISCO) whereas the disc reaches the ISCO in the soft state. ...
