7 Eight powers of ten: similarities in black hole 0 0 accretion on all mass scales 2 n u J 6 Rob Fender∗ 2 University of Southampton, UK ] E-mail: rpf@phys.soton.ac.uk h p- Elmar Körding o University of Southampton, UK r t s a [ Tomaso Belloni Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera, Italy 1 v 8 3 Phil Uttley 8 University of Amsterdam, NL 3 . 6 0 Ian McHardy 7 0 University of Southampton, UK : v i X Tasso Tzioumis r ATNF, Australia a In this paper we discuss the recent advances in the quantitative comparison of accretion, and the accretion:jet coupling, in accreting black holes in both X-ray binaries (where MBH ∼ 10M⊙) and 5 9 Active Galactic Nuclei (10 ≤ MBH ≤ 10 ). These similarities include the radiative efficiency and jet power as a function of accretion rate, which are themselves probably the origin of the ‘fundamental plane of black hole activity’. A second ‘fundamental plane’ which connects mass, accretion rate and timing properties provides us with a further physical diagnostic. Patterns of radio loudness (i.e. jet production) as a function of luminosity and accretion state are shown to be similar for X-ray binaries and AGN. Finally we discuss how neutron stars are a useful control sample, and what the future may hold for this field.
