Scientific paper

We use the RXTE archive to define X-ray states for 30 black hole
binaries and candidates. We examine the frequencies for occupying
each state, the correlations between states and Eddington-scaled
luminosity, and the distribution of measured spectral and timing
parameters within each state. The results are used to argue forcefully
that there are three different states of active accretion for black
hole binaries. Two of these states (thermal and hard) are shared by
accreting neutron stars, but the other (steep power law) is not.
