Abstract
- We have measured the X-ray/optical cross-correlation functions (CCFs) of the two black hole binary systems SWIFT J1753.5−0127 and GX 339−4 using ULTRACAM and RXTE. We find each one is unique and different from the one such measurement in the literature, for XTE J1118+480. Our CCFs are inconsistent with reprocessing, and suggest a mechanism which regulates emission between the different spectral bands, possibly of magnetic origin.
