Insight-HXMT observations of jet-like corona in a black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070

This paper reports on the unusual decrease of the reflection fraction in the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 during its decay phase, as observed by Insight-HXMT. The authors propose a jet-like corona model, where the corona is a standing shock through which material flows. The decrease in reflection fraction is interpreted as a signature of the corona's bulk velocity, suggesting faster outflow as the corona moves closer to the black hole.
