The quiescent optical light curve of XTE J2123-058
We present optical photometry of the X-ray transient XTE J2123-058 during its quiescent state taken in 1999 and 2000. We fit the R-band light curves with a model which requires the ellipsoidal modulation and X-ray heating of the Roche-lobe filling secondary star, and an accretion disc bulge, i.e. where the gas stream impacts the accretion disc.
