We present a new picture for the central regions of Black Hole X-ray Binaries. In our view, these central regions have a multi-flow configuration which consists in (1) an outer standard accretion disc down to a transition radius r_J, (2) an inner magnetized accretion disc below r_J driving (3) a non relativistic self-collimated electron-proton jet surrounding, when adequate conditions for pair creation are met, (4) a ultra relativistic electron-positron beam. This accretion-ejection paradigm provides a simple explanation to the canonical spectral states, from radio to X/gamma-rays, by varying the transition radius r_J and disc accretion rate independently. Large values of r_J and low accretion rate correspond to Quiescent and Hard states. These states are characterized by the presence of a steady electron-proton MHD jet emitted by the disc below r_J. The hard X-ray component is expect to form at the jet basis. When r_J becomes smaller than the marginally stable orbit r_i, the whole disc resembles a standard accretion disc with no jet, characteristic of the Soft state. Intermediate states correspond to situations where r_J ~ r_i. At large accretion rate, an unsteady pair cascade process is triggered within the jet axis, giving birth to flares and ejection of relativistic pair blobs. This would correspond to the luminous intermediate state, with its associated superluminal motions.

A complete sample of bright ROSAT sources with hard XRB-like spectra in the Galactic Plane (|b| < 15 deg.) has been tentatively identified with radio sources in the GB6/PMN/NVSS surveys, and subsequently observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Very Large Array. Most of them are unresolved at the sub-arcsec scale and have flat or inverted spectra. Precise radio coordinates have made unambiguous optical identifications possible, which, after the removal of galaxies, yielded a final list of 40 microquasar candidates. They are successfully going through the moderate dispersion spectroscopy by the 4-m telescope of the Anglo-Australian Observatory. Our goal is to obtain evidence for a characteristic accreting behaviour and establish binarity, thence permitting actual microquasar classification. VLBI observations of the brightest candidates are also underway. We expect some of these objects could be QSOs, or radio galaxies, or cataclysmic variables. However, this would be a valuable by-product of the proposed program. Photometry of these objects dedicated to find possible eclipses and, also, characteristic accreting disc driven flares.
We present preliminary results and observables from a model of microquasar based on a theoretical framework where stationary, powerful, compact jets are launched and then accelerated from an inner magnetized disk. This model aim at providing a consis tent picture of microquasars in all their spectral states. It is composed of an outer standard accretion disk down to a variable transition radius where it changes to a magnetized disk, called the Jet Emitting Disk (JED). The theoretical framework providing the heating, we solve the radiative equilibrium and obtain the JED structure. Our JED solutions are rich, and reproduce the already known scheme where a cold optically-thick and a hot optically-thin solutions bracket a thermally unstable one. We present the model and preliminary results, whith a first attempt at reproducing the observed SED of XTE J1118+480.
Based on a dynamical model describing how stationary, powerful and self-collimated jets are being launched from a magnetized disk, we build a consistent disk+jet microquasar picture. Our disk is a new type of disk solution called the Jet Emitting Dis k (JED), and whose characteristics are directly constrained by the presence of a jet. We assume a one-temperature plasma with thermal particles only. By solving the radiative equilibrium of the disk, we obtain three branches of solutions, a hot and a cold ones (both thermally stable), and an intermediate one, thermally unstable. The hot solution possess the global observed characteristics of what has been often called a corona located above the inner disk region. We present this new disk solution, and how the radiative equilibrium is computed. We discuss the richness of the solution, and show the ability of the model to reproduce an observed spectral energy distribution of XTE J1118+480 with reasonable parameters. We finally outline some perspectives of the model.
The Cauchy problem of a multi-dimensional ($dgeqslant 2$) compressible viscous liquid-gas two-phase flow model is concerned in this paper. We investigate the global existence and uniqueness of the strong solution for the initial data close to a stabl e equilibrium and the local in time existence and uniqueness of the solution with general initial data in the framework of Besov spaces. A continuation criterion is also obtained for the local solution.

We present the international collaboration MINE (Multi-lambda INTEGRAL NEtwork) aimed at conducting multi-wavelength observations of microquasars simultaneously with the INTEGRAL satellite. The first results on GRS 1915+105 are encouraging and those to come should help us to understand the physics of the accretion and ejection phenomena around a compact object.
