The optical counterparts of accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars during quiescence

The optical counterparts of accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars during quiescence

<i>Context. <i/>Eight accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars (AMXPs) are known to date. Although these systems are well studied at high energies, very little information is available for their optical/NIR counterparts. Up to now, only two of them, SAX J1808.4-3658 and IGR J00291+5934, have a secure multi-band detection of their optical counterparts …
