Follow-up Swift observations of SMC X-3 during its Type II outburst: no torque reversal yet
Abstract
The Be/X-ray binary SMC X-3 started a Type II outburst around 2016 July 30 (ATEL #9348 and #9362), and the outburst has been monitored with Swift since 2016 August 10. The observed spin frequency increased smoothly before October 14-15, after then it decreased with time (Coe et al., ATEL #9677).
