Scientific paper

SWIFT J1753.5-0127 belongs to an interesting class of black hole candidates that appear to remain in the low/hard state during their outbursts. The well-known black hole XTE J1118+480 is part of this class. SWIFT J1753.5-0127 is more special still, in that it has remained active in the low/hard state since the onset of its outburst in 2005 (see Palmer et al. 2005, ATEL #546). The low column density along the line of sight to SWIFT J1753.5-0127 makes it possible to detect the blackbody-like spectrum from the accretion disk, even when it is faint and cool.
