Cross-correlation analysis was implemented in various energy bands in order to detect lags. In a few observations we found that the soft (2-5 keV) and hard (16-30 keV) energy light curves show anti-correlated lags of the order of a few tens of seconds. During these observations we found that the power density spectra have also changed. The spectral analysis shows that the spectra pivots in the energy range 5-10 keV suggesting that the accretion disk geometry varied during the detected lag. Overall results are discussed in the framework of the truncated accretion disk model. |
