It is well known that black hole candidates, Cyg X-1 and GX 339-4, have distinct high and low states, known as bimodal states. Detailed spectroscopic studies of these X-ray sources have revealed high and low states corresponding to optically thick and thin states of the surrounding accretion disks.
