Increased soft X-ray activity but no optical response in Swift J1753.5-0127
Abstract
We report on new X-ray and optical observations of the unusual black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127. As previously found (ATel #7196), the source has been declining significantly in hard X-rays (15-50 keV) as seen in Swift-BAT light curves (http://swift.gsfc.nasa.gov/results/transients/SWIFTJ1753.5-0127/), with a similar response reported in the MAXI-GSC light curves (http://maxi.riken.jp/top/index.php?cid=1 & jname=J1753-014).
