Optical Spectroscopy of the X‐Ray Transient XTE J1118+480 in Outburst
We report on optical spectroscopic observations of the X-ray transient XTE J1118+480 covering the period from 2000 April 7 to July 4. The spectrum is characterized by weak, broad, double-peaked Balmer and He lines on top of a blue continuum of slope p ≈ , as expected for an optically …
