ENERGY DEPENDENCE<br />
This movie (Homan_GX339-4_movie.mov) shows how the outburst shape depends on energy.<br />
Dur<strong>in</strong>g the movie the energy <strong>of</strong> the light curve goes down from 20 keV to 2 keV. In the high<br />
energy band we see a large peak at the start <strong>of</strong> the outburst. Go<strong>in</strong>g down to lower energies<br />
that peak disappears. Instead we see peaks appear later <strong>in</strong> the<br />
outburst. Obviously, there are considerable spectral changes dur<strong>in</strong>g the outburst.
