Long-term X-ray variability of a peculiar black hole X-ray recurrent transient

Albert Kong (National Tsing Hua University)

Description:

In this project, you will need to analyse X-ray outburst data of the black hole candidate 4U1755-338. The source has gone into a new outburst after 50 years and the outburst has been lasting for nearly 3 years with strong X-ray variability. New X-ray data will allow us to compare with other canonical black hole X-ray transients.

Required background: Basic Python, Linux
