Abstract (from CDS):

We have conducted simultaneous optical and X-ray observations of SWIFT J1753.5-0127 with RXTE and ULTRACAM, while the system persisted in its relatively bright low/hard state. In the cross-correlation function, we find that the optical emission, with a broad negative peak, leads the X-ray emission by a few seconds and has a smaller positive peak at positive lags. This is markedly different from what was seen for the similarly interesting system XTE J1118+480, and it is the first time that such a correlation function has been so clearly measured. We suggest a physical scenario for its origin.
