Abstract

Stars: individual: XTE J1650-500 X-rays: stars
We report the result of an XMM-Newton observation of the black hole X-ray transient XTE J1650-500 in quiescence. The source was not detected, and we set upper limits on the 0.5-10 keV luminosity of (for a newly derived distance of 2.6 kpc). These limits are in line with the quiescent luminosities of black hole X-ray binaries with similar orbital periods (∼7-8 h). © 2005 RAS.
