Contribution

It provides a concise overview of the relationship between X-ray timing states and jet activity in black-hole X-ray binaries.

Findings

Strong links between accretion states and jet ejections

X-ray timing properties correlate with radio jet activity

Evolution of outbursts characterized by spectral and timing changes

Abstract

In the past years, a clear picture of the evolution of outbursts of black-hole X-ray binaries has emerged. While the X-ray properties can be classified into our distinct states, based on spectral and timing properties, the observations in the radio band have shown strong links between accretion and ejection properties. Here I briefly outline the association between X-ray timing and jet properties.
