MOST Radio Monitoring of GX 339 − 4
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Previous work by Motch et al. (1985) suggested that in the low/hard state of GX 339−4, the soft X-ray power-law extrapolated backward in energy agrees with the IR flux level. Corbel and Fender (2002) later showed that the typical hard state radio power-law extrapolated forward in energy meets the backward extrapolated X-ray power-law at an IR spectral break, which was explicitly observed twice ...
متن کاملUvA - DARE ( Digital Academic Repository ) Near - Infrared Synchrotron Emission from the Compact Jet of GX 339 - 4
We have compiled contemporaneous broadband observations of the black hole candidate X-ray binary GX 339 4 when in the low/hard X-ray state in 1981 and 1997. The data clearly reveal the presence of two spectral components, with thermal and nonthermal spectra, overlapping in the optical–near-infrared bands. The nonthermal component lies on an extrapolation of the radio spectrum of the source, and...
متن کاملStudying the X-ray hysteresis in GX 339-4: the disc and iron line over one decade
We report on a comprehensive and consistent investigation into the X-ray emission from GX 339-4. All public observations in the 11 year RXTE archive were analysed. Three different types of model single powerlaw, broken powerlaw and a disc + powerlaw were fitted to investigate the evolution of the disc, along with a fixed gaussian component at 6.4 keV to investigate any iron line in the spectrum...
متن کاملCorrelation between radio luminosity and X-ray timing frequencies in neutron star and black hole X-ray binaries
We report on correlations between radio luminosity and X-ray timing features in X-ray binary systems containing low magnetic field neutron stars and black holes. The sample of neutron star systems consists of 4U 1728–34, 4U 1820–34, Ser X-1, MXB 1730-335, GX 13+1, the millisecond X-ray pulsars SAX J1808.4-3658 and IGR J00291+5934, and these are compared with the black hole system GX 339–4. The ...
متن کاملMulti-wavelength Observations of the 2002 Outburst of Gx 339–4: Two Patterns of X-ray–optical/near-infrared Behavior
We report on quasi-simultaneous Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and optical/near-infrared (nIR) observations of the black hole candidate X-ray transient GX 339–4. Our observations were made over a time span of more than eight months in 2002 and cover the initial rise and transition from a hard to a soft spectral state in X-rays. Two distinct patterns of correlated X-ray–optical/nIR behavior were fo...
