Accretion disc variability in the hard state of black hole X-ray binaries (2009)
Wilkinson, Tony, Uttley, Philip
XMM-Newton X-ray spectra of the hard state Black Hole X-Ray Binaries (BHXRBs) SWIFT J1753.5-0127 and GX 339-4 show evidence for accretion disc blackbody emission, in addition to hard power-laws. The...

A brief review of long-term X-ray and optical variability in radio-quiet AGN (2004)
Uttley, Philip, McHardy, Ian M.
Long-time-scale X-ray and optical variability is a key characteristic of AGN. Here, we summarise our current understanding of the X-ray and optical continuum variability of radio-quiet AGN and the...
The aperiodic x-ray variability in neutron star and black hole x-ray binaries (XRBs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) shows a characteristic linear relationship between rms amplitude and flux,...

The nature of X-ray spectral variability in Seyfert Galaxies (2003)
Taylor, Richard D., Uttley, Philip, McHardy, Ian M.
We use a model-independent technique to investigate the nature of the 2-15 keV X-ray spectral variability in four Seyfert galaxies and distinguish between spectral pivoting and the two-component...
Correlated long-term optical and x-ray variations in NGC 5548 (2003)
Uttley, Philip, Edelson, Rick, McHardy, Ian M., Peterson, Bradley M., Markowitz, Alex
We combine the long-term optical light curve of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548 with the X-ray light curve measured by the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer over 6 years, to determine the relationship...
Uttley, Philip, McHardy, Ian M.
Standard shot-noise models, which seek to explain the broadband noise variability that characterises the X-ray lightcurves of X-ray binaries and active galaxies, predict that the power spectrum of...
