Rapid optical and X-ray timing observations of GX 339−4: multicomponent optical variability in the low/hard state

A rapid timing analysis of Very Large Telescope (VLT)/ULTRACAM (optical) and RXTE (X-ray) observations of the Galactic black hole binary GX 339−4 in the low/hard, post-outburst state of 2007 June is presented. The optical light curves in the r′, g′ and u′ filters show slow (∼20 s) quasi-periodic var...
