About article:
A toy model for the state transitions of X-ray binaries (XRBs) is proposed
by considering the effects of cosmic battery. In our model, we present an
explanation for the origin of the magnetic field: some electric currents
flowing around a Kerr black hole in the equatorial plane generates the
poloidal magnetic field which exists on the black hole and the accretion
disk. And the magnetic field is very important for explaining the state
transitions. We discuss the different configurations of magnetic field
corresponding to different states of the XRBs—GRO J1655-40. It turns out
that the Poynting-Robertson cosmic battery could be the key factor for
explaining the state transitions of XRBs.
