We present Doppler and modulation tomography of the X-ray nova XTE J1118+480 with data obtained during quiescence using the 10-m Keck II telescope. The hot spot where the gas stream hits the accretion disc is seen in H-Alpha, H-Beta, He I Lambda-5876, and Ca II Lambda-8662, thus verifying the presence of continued mass transfer within the system. The disc is clearly seen in H-Alpha and Ca II Lambda-8662. We image the mass-donor star in narrow absorption lines of Na I Lambda-Lambda-5890, 5896, 8183, 8195 and Ca II Lambda-8662, implying an origin from the secondary itself rather than the interstellar medium. We also detect deviations in the centroid of the double peak of H-Alpha akin to those found by Zurita et al. 2002 suggesting disc eccentricity.
We present the results of our monitoring of the halo black-hole soft X-ray transient (SXT) XTE J1118+480 during its decline to quiescence. The system has decayed 0.5 mags from December 2000 to its present near quiescent level at R=18.65 (June 2001).
We present contemporaneous, broadband, near-infrared spectroscopy (0.9-2.45 micron) and H-band photometry of the black hole X-ray binary, XTE J1118+480. We determined the fractional dilution of the NIR ellipsoidal light curves of the donor star from
We report on the analysis of new and previously published MMT optical spectra of the black hole binary XTE J1118+480 during the decline from the 2000 outburst to true quiescence. From cross-correlation with template stars, we measure the radial veloc
The black hole X-ray transient, XTE J1118+480, has now twice been observed in outburst - 2000 and 2005 - and on both occasions remained in the low/hard X-ray spectral state. Here we present radio, infrared, optical, soft X-ray and hard X-ray observat
Optical spectra were obtained of the optical counterpart of the high latitude soft X-ray transient XTE J1118+480 near its quiescent state with the new 6.5 m MMT and the 4.2 m WHT. The spectrum exhibits broad, double-peaked, emission lines of hydrogen
