The Spectral Energy Distribution of Quiescent Black Hole X-Ray Binaries: New Constraints from Spitzer
Among the various issues that remain open in the field of accretion onto black hole X-ray binaries (BHBs) is the question of how gas accretes at very low Eddington ratios, in the so-called quiescent regime. While there is general agreement that X-rays are produced by a population of high-energy elec...
