X-ray variability of the HMXB Cen X−3: evidence for inhomogeneous accretion flows

ABSTRACT Cen X−3 is a compact high-mass X-ray binary likely powered by Roche lobe overflow. We present a phase-resolved X-ray spectral and timing analysis of two pointed XMM–Newton observations. The first one took place during a normal state of the source, when it has a luminosity LX ∼ 1036 erg s−1....
