IR contamination in quiescence X-Ray Novae

IR contamination in quiescence X-Ray Novae

We present archival optical-IR observations of a number of short period X-ray novae (XRNe). We use these to show that in contrast to the current paradigm, there is likely significant non stellar flux in the infra-red (IR).
