ABSTRACT
We propose a Large Program of 10-day XMM-NuSTAR consecutive monitoring (30 ks/day XMM, 20 ks/day NuSTAR), triggered by Swift, of a high-inclination Black Hole LMXB during the Hard-to-Soft transition. This will allow us to simultaneously and accurately 1) determine the X-ray broadband spectral shape and 2) detect the wind absorption lines. These are key ingredients to put firm constraints on (a) the evolution of the wind physical properties with the accretion state and (b) its possible association with the jet (thanks to proprietary simultaneous IR-Radio observations).

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
