MULTIWAVELENGTH SIGNATURES OF GALACTIC BLACK-HOLES - OBSERVATION AND THEORY

This review attempts to provide a concise overview of the observationa l signatures of galactic black hole candidates and highlight some of t heir theoretical models. We focus on the emerging areas of confrontati on between observation and theory. The goal is to lay the foundation o f a possible unified framework for the systematic study of the multiwa velength emission and dynamical properties associated with galactic bl ack-holes candidates, ranging from X-ray Nova outbursts to relativisti c bipolar jet-like outflows.
