Optical spectroscopy of flares from the black hole X-ray transient A0620-00 in quiescence

Optical spectroscopy of flares from the black hole X-ray transient A0620-00 in quiescence

We present a time-resolved spectrophotometric study of the optical variability in the quiescent soft X-ray transient A0620-00. Superimposed on the double-humped continuum lightcurve are the well known flare events which last tens of minutes. Some of the flare events that appear in the continuum lightcurve are also present in the …
