Our Milky Way Galaxy is home to hundreds of millions of black holes with masses of about 10 times that of the Sun, and the vast majority of these stellar mass black holes are expected to be found in binary systems with a companion star. The black hole often accretes matter from the companion star, releasing an enormous amount of energy, mostly in the form of X-rays; such systems are known as black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs). Some BHXBs undergo outbursts that change the structure of the black hole accretion disk and produce relativistic jets of material. Researchers at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) through an interdisciplinary collaboration between astrophysics and computer science will analyze radio observations of 20 BHXB systems pre- and post-outburst to reveal the physical drivers for how jets respond to accretion flows. They will build a catalog of the systems that will be accessible through an interactive website. The survey will place stringent constraints on the Galactic BHXB population and thus our understanding of stellar populations. The project will contribute to the training of the next generation of scientists by including two graduate students in the research, as well as expanding an existing outreach program that will provide astronomy lessons to 1000 middle school students across Nevada. This project focuses on the hard X-ray state of BHXBs that occurs during the initial outburst triggered by thermal-viscous instabilities in their disks and during t
