Disc-jet coupling in an atoll-type neutron star X-ray binary: 4U 1728-34 (GX 354-0)

Abstract

We have analysed 12 simultaneous radio (VLA) and X-ray (RXTE) observations of the atoll-type X-ray binary 4U 1728-34, performed in two blocks in 2000 and 2001. We have found that the strongest and most variable emission seems to be associated with repeated transitions between hard (island) and softer (lower banana) X-ray states, while weaker, persistent radio emission is observed when the source is steadily in the hard X-ray state. There is a significant positive ranking correlation between the radio flux density at 8.46 GHz and the 2-10 keV X-ray flux. Moreover, significant positive ranking correlations between radio flux density and X-ray timing features (i.e. break and low-frequency Lorentzian frequencies) have been found. These correlations represent the first evidence for a coupling between disc and jet in an atoll-type X-ray binary. Furthermore, drawing an analogy between the hard (island) state and the low/hard state of black hole binaries, we confirm previous findings that accreting neutron stars are a factor of ~30 less `radio loud' than black holes.
