The optical and X-ray flickering of XTE J1118+480
Abstract
We study the complex correlations between optical and X-ray variability in the black hole X-ray nova XTE J1118+480. We find that the optical and X-ray fluctuations of very different shapes, amplitudes and time-scales are correlated in a similar mode where the optical light curve is seemingly related to the time derivative of the X-rays.
