Infrared spectroscopy of V616 Mon (=A0620--00): the accretion disc contamination

T. Shahbaz, R. M. Bandyopadhyay, P. A. Charles

We have obtained for the first time $K$-band infrared spectra of the soft X-ray transient V616 Mon (=A0620--00). We determine the 2-sigma upper limit to the fraction of light arisi…
