Table 2∶ Outburst states of black holes∶ nomenclature and definitions

New State Name (Old State Name)	Definition of X-ray State${}^a$
Thermal (High/Soft)	Disk fraction $f^b>75\%$ QPOs absent or very weak: $a_{max}^c<0.005$ Power continuum level $r^d<0.075^e$
Hard (Low/Hard)	Disk fraction $f^b<20\%$ (i.e., Power-law fraction > 80%) $1.4^f<\Gamma <2.1$ Power continuum level $r^d>0.1$
Steep Power Law (SPL) (Very high)	Presence of power-law component with $\Gamma >2.4$ Power continuum level $r^d<0.15$ Either $f^b<0.8$ and 0.1–30 Hz QPOs present with $a^c>0.01$ or disk fraction $f^b<50\%$ with no QPOs

${}^a$ 2–20 keV band.
${}^b$ Fraction of the total 2–20 keV unabsorbed flux.
${}^c$ QPO amplitude (rms).
${}^d$ Total rms power integrated over 0.1–10 Hz.
${}^e$ Formerly 0.06 in McClintock & Remillard (2006).
${}^f$ Formerly 1.5 in McClintock & Remillard (2006).
