The X-Ray Properties of the Black Hole Transient MAXI J1659-152 in Quiescence
We present new Chandra X-ray observations of the transient black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1659-152 in quiescence. These observations were made more than one year after the end of the source's 2010-2011 outburst. We detect the source at a 0.5-10 keV flux of 2.8(8) × 10–15 erg s–1 cm–2, which corresponds to a luminosity of ~1.2 × 1031 (d/6 kpc)2 erg s
