Light curves of GX 340+0 from the RXTE/ASM (1.5–12.0 keV). The left panel spans 100 days, centered on Chandra ObsID 1922 (dashed red line), in which the relativistic wind is detected. The right panel spans 100 days including ObsIDs 6631 and 6632 (dashed blue lines), in which a wind is not apparent. It is clear that ObsID 1922 was obtained at a lower source flux, and it is possible that such intervals should be targeted in the future to obtain a better understanding of the wind in GX 340+0. Dashed, gray horizontal lines indicate the flux level at which ObsID 1922 was obtained.
