Very fast X-ray spectral variability in Cygnus X-1: origin of the hard- and soft-state emission components
The way in which the X-ray photon index, ?, varies as a function of count rate is a strong diagnostic of the emission processes and emission geometry around accreting compact objects. Here we present the results from a study using a new, and simple, method designed to improve sensitivity to the meas...
