Question

Stellar mass black holes in close binary systems, often called "microquasars", can have hot accretion disks, similar to those of AGNs. Explain QUANTITATIVELY why these systems are strong emitters in X-rays.

Hint: Assume that M_BH = 10 M_SUN, that the accretion rate is 2.0 x 10^-8 M_SUN/yr and that all the radiation occurs at the Schwarzschild radius.
