The source stayed most of its lifetime during hard state, with occasionally transitioned to the hard intermediate state. Similar to typical black hole transients, Swift J1753.5-0127 traces a clear hard line in absolute rms - intensity diagram during the low hard state, with expected highest absolute rms, while shows a clear turn during the hard intermediate state, accompanied by lower absolute rms. Different from Cyg X-1, we found that frequency-dependent time lag increased significantly in the 0.02 -- 3.2 Hz band during state transition in this source. The X-ray time lags in 0.02 -- 3.2 Hz can therefore be used as indicators of state transition in this source. Type-C QPO frequency is positively related with its fractional rms and X-ray photon index, suggesting a moving inwards disk/corona scenario. We discussed the physical interpretation of our results in our paper.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-05-20T13:01:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "long term variability", "x-ray spectral-temporal correlations", "state transition", "hard intermediate state", "absolute rms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
