Disentangling the NIR/optical emission of the black hole XTE J1650-500 during outburst

Context: While the sources of X-ray and radio emission in the different states of low-mass X-ray binaries are relatively well understood, the origin of the near-infrared (NIR) and optical emission is more often debated. It is likely that the NIR/optical flux originates from an amalgam of different e...
