ULTRACAM observations of the black hole X - ray transient XTE J 1118 + 480 in quiescence
We present high time-resolution multicolour observations of the quiescent soft X-ray transient XTEJ1118+480 obtained with ULTRACAM. Superimposed on the double-humped continuum g ′ and i -band lightcurves are rapid flare events which typically last a few minutes. The power density spectrum of the lightcurves can be described by a broken power–law model with a break frequency at ∼2mHz or a power–...
متن کاملXMM–Newton observations of the black hole X-ray transient XTE J1650–500 in quiescence
We report the result of an XMM–Newton observation of the black hole X-ray transient XTE J1650–500 in quiescence. The source was not detected, and we set upper limits on the 0.5–10 keV luminosity of 0.9–1.0 × 1031 erg s−1 (for a newly derived distance of 2.6 kpc). These limits are in line with the quiescent luminosities of black hole X-ray binaries with similar orbital periods (∼7–8 h).
متن کاملTelescope Observations of the Black Hole X - ray Transient GRO J 0422 + 32 Near Quiescence
We present HST /FOS ultraviolet and optical spectroscopy of the black hole X-ray transient GRO J0422+32 shortly before the system reached quiescence. We find that the accretion spectrum from 2500–9000Å can be very well fit by a self-absorbed synchrotron model, with superposed H i and Mg ii emission lines. The explanations we suggest for this spectrum are that it is either due to active coronal ...
متن کاملThe black hole candidate XTE J1752−223 towards and in quiescence: optical and simultaneous X-ray–radio observations
We present optical, X-ray and radio observations of the black hole transient (BHT) XTE J1752−223 towards and in quiescence. Optical photometry shows that the quiescent magnitude of XTE J1752−223 is fainter than 24.4 mag in the i′ band. A comparison with measurements of the source during its 2009–2010 outburst shows that the outburst amplitude is more than 8 mag in the i′ band. Known X-ray prope...
متن کاملThe Evolving Accretion Disc in the Black Hole X-ray Transient XTE J1859+226⋆
We present HST, RXTE, and UKIRT observations of the broad band spectra of the black hole X-ray transient XTE J1859+226 during the decline from its 1999–2000 outburst. Our UV spectra define the 2175 Å interstellar absorption feature very well and based on its strength we estimate E(B − V ) = 0.58 ± 0.12. Hence we deredden our spectra and follow the evolution of the spectral energy distribution o...
