| dc.description.abstract | The black hole candidate LMC X-3 varies by a factor of four on a timescale of either 200 or 100 days (Cowley et al., 1991). We have monitored LMC X-3 with RXTE in three to four week intervals starting in December 1996, obtaining a large observational database that sheds light on the nature of the long term X-ray variability in this source. In this paper we present the results from this monitoring campaign, focusing on evidence of recurring hard states in this canonical soft state black hole candidate. | en |
| dc.description.sponsorship | We thank the RXTE schedulers for their patience in scheduling a total of up to now 40 observations on LMC X-3 and 32 observations on LMC X-1 during the course of the past three years. We also thank those who are responsible for the almost nonexistent observing constraints of RXTE for providing us with the ability to perform campaigns such as this one. The attendance of JW at the Compton symposium was made possible by a travel grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. | en |
