Accretion disc variability in the hard state of black hole X-ray binaries

XMM-Newton X-ray spectra of the hard state black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) SWIFT J1753.5?0127 and GX 339?4 show evidence for accretion disc blackbody emission, in addition to hard power laws. The soft and hard band power spectral densities (PSDs) of these sources demonstrate variability over a wi...
