JWST/MIRI Spectroscopy of the Quiescent Black Hole X-ray Binary XTE J1118+480: Constraints on Jet and Circumbinary Dust Contributions to the Mid-infrared Emission

Zihao Zuo, Elena Gallo, Nuria Calvet +9

We report on JWST/MIRI low-resolution spectroscopy (-m) and imaging (-m) of the black hole X-ray binary XTE~J1118+480 in quiescence, at an X-ray luminosity nine…
