Scientific paper

Understanding black hole systems in their canonical hard state is a major goal of high energy astrophysics. This state features a hard X-ray spectrum, a high level of timing noise, and emission from a jet at radio, infrared, and perhaps higher frequencies. Observations can constrain the theoretical models by answering two questions: Does the inner edge of the accretion disk recede in the hard state?; and how is the accretion geometry related to the presence of a jet? Here, we propose to extend X-ray and radio studies of the hard state to low flux levels in order to answer these questions.
