Scientific paper

The wind accretor LMC X-1, along with LMC X-3 and Cygnus X-1, is one of only three known persistently bright black hole binary systems. Our long-term RXTE monitoring campaign of LMC X-1 has revealed a surprising departure from the typical accretion disk temperature-luminosity relation. This behavior is consistent with the presence of a stable accretion disk whose inner regions suffer variable amounts of veiling by a population of hot electrons. We show that our model agrees well with current theories of O-star winds and well-established thin-disk accretion models, as well as with x-ray observations of two recently discovered extragalactic wind-accreting black hole binary systems.
