Using novel spectral-timing techniques to probe the rapid variability of X-ray binaries

X-ray spectral variability is a powerful probe of the relationship between the accretion disc and corona in accreting compact objects. In this thesis, I present the use of variability techniques to disentangle the different variable components of X-ray spectra. By examining correlated variability ov...
