The aperiodic broad-band X-ray variability of Cygnus X-3

Axelsson, Magnus; Larsson, Stefan; Hjalmarsdotter, Linnea

We study the soft X-ray variability of Cygnus X-3. By combining data from the All-Sky Monitor and Proportional Counter Array instruments on the RXTE satellite with EXOSAT/Medium Energy (ME) detector observations, we are able to analyse the power density spectrum (PDS) of the source from 10^-9 to 0.1 Hz, thus covering time-scales from sec…
