Long-term X-ray variability of Swift J1644+57

We studied the X-ray timing and spectral variability of the X-ray source Sw J1644+57, a candidate for a tidal disruption event. We have separated the long-term trend (an initial decline followed by a plateau) from the short-term dips in the Swift light curve. Power spectra and Lomb–Scargle periodogr...
