Description

To understand the decaying phase of outbursts in BH-XRBs, we performed very long GRMHD simulations of a geometrically thin accretion disk around a Kerr BH with slowly rotating matter injected from outside. Due to the interaction between the thin disk and injected matter, the accretion flow near the BH goes through different phases. The sequence of phases is: soft state $\rightarrow$ soft-intermediate state $\rightarrow$ hard-intermediate state $\rightarrow$ hard state $\rightarrow$ quiescent state. The talk will discuss the process of transition in detail. We also observed low-frequency QPOs ($\sim 10$Hz) and high-frequency QPOs ($\sim 200$Hz) throughout the evolution.
