The Off State of GX 339 – 4
We report BeppoSAX and optical observations of the black hole candidate GX339– 4 during its X-ray ‘off’ state in 1999. The broad-band (0.8–50 keV) X-ray emission can be fitted by a single power law with spectral index, α ∼ 1.6. The observed luminosity is 6.6 × 10 erg s in the 0.5–10 keV band, which is at the higher end of the flux distribution of black hole soft X-ray transients in quiescence, ...
متن کاملSpectro-timing Study of Gx 339-4 in a Hard Intermediate State
We present an analysis of Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Arrayobservations of a hard intermediate state of the transient black hole GX339−4 taken in 2015 January. With the source softening significantly over the course of the 1.3 day long observation we split the data into 21 sub-sets and find that the spectrum of all of them can be well described by a power-law continuum with an additiona...
متن کاملX-ray Reflection Spectroscopy of the Black Hole Gx 339–4: Exploring the Hard State with Unprecedented Sensitivity
We analyze simultaneously six composite RXTE spectra of GX 339–4 in the hard state comprising 77 million counts collected over 196 ks. The source spectra are ordered by luminosity and span the range 1.6%–17% of the Eddington luminosity. Crucially, using our new tool pcacorr, we re-calibrate the data to a precision of 0.1%, an order of magnitude improvement over all earlier work. Using our advan...
متن کاملMOST Radio Monitoring of GX 339 − 4
The Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST) has been monitoring the candidate Galactic black hole binary system GX339−4 at 843 MHz since 1994 April. We present the results of this program up to 1997 February and show a possible correlation between radio and X-ray light curves.
متن کاملRapid optical and X-ray timing observations of GX 339−4: multicomponent optical variability in the low/hard state
A rapid timing analysis of Very Large Telescope (VLT)/ULTRACAM (optical) and RXTE (Xray) observations of the Galactic black hole binary GX 339−4 in the low/hard, post-outburst state of 2007 June is presented. The optical light curves in the r′, g′ and u′ filters show slow (∼20 s) quasi-periodic variability. Upon this is superposed fast flaring activity on times approaching the best time resolut...
