“…We therefore will focus on BHXBs and thus will not discuss binary systems producing gamma-rays and sometimes radio jets, which are most likely high-mass NSXBs and in which jets or pulsars' winds interact with the wind of its high-mass companion to produce the observed gamma-rays [17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Such systems show very different observational characteristics, e.g.…”

This is a general review on the observations and physics of black hole X-ray binaries and microquasars, with the emphasize on recent developments in the high energy regime. The focus is put on understanding the accretion flows and measuring the parameters of black holes in them. It includes mainly two parts: (1) Brief review of several recent review article on this subject; (2) Further development on several topics, including black hole spin measurements, hot accretion flows, corona formation, state transitions and thermal stability of standard think disk. This is thus not a regular bottom-up approach, which I feel not necessary at this stage. Major effort is made in making and incorporating from many sources useful plots and illustrations, in order to make this article more comprehensible to non-expert readers. In the end I attempt to make a unification scheme on the accretion-outflow (wind/jet) connections of all types of accreting BHs of all accretion rates and all BH mass scales, and finally provide a brief outlook.
