MODELING THE OPTICAL-X-RAY ACCRETION LAG IN LMC X-3: INSIGHTS INTO BLACK-HOLE ACCRETION PHYSICS

The X-ray persistence and characteristically soft spectrum of the black hole X-ray binary LMC X-3 make this source a touchstone for penetrating studies of accretion physics. We analyze a rich, ten-year collection of optical/infrared (OIR) time-series data in conjunction with all available contempora...
