Scientific paper

GRS 1915+105 is a black hole in the Milky Way galaxy accreting material from a companion star. It has been in an active state of outburst since its discovery in 1992, exhibiting large plasma ejections and rapid X-ray variability. Here, I present a study of some of the most extreme variability seen from this source and perform simple accretion disk simulations to try to reproduce it. I present evidence that the ejection of material into a jet and the associated destruction of a large-scale magnetic field may directly trigger instabilities in the accretion disk.
