Observation of the black hole candidate X-ray binary Swift J1357.2 0933 in quies
Abstract
We propose a 40 ksec XMM Newton observation of the low mass X-ray binary black hole system Swift J1357.2 0933 in the quiescent state. The low column density towards the source makes it possible to obtain its quiescent lumi- nosity down to LX ~1E30 ergs s-1. This limit, together with its short orbital period of 2.8 hours makes it possible to test the ADAF interpretation for emission in quiescent black holes systems by testing the quiescent luminosity-orbital period correlation in the unexplored regime of very short orbital periods.
