Spectral Evolution of the Thermal Component in Cygnus X-1 during Intensity Variations in the Soft State
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
Cygnus X-1 was in the Soft State between May and September 1996 for the first time in more than 20 years creating an opportunity to study the thermal component, its spectral evolution, time variability and its relation to the hard component during intensity variations. We will show how the luminosity of the thermal component changes in relation to its temperature and attempt to determine whether the emitting area varied during the variations.
