The quiescent lightcurve and evolutionary state of GRO J1655-40

We present ellipsoidal lightcurve fits to the quiescent BVRI lightcurves of GRO J1655-40 (Nova Scorpii 1994). The fits are based on a simple model consisting of a Roche-lobe filling secondary and an accretion disk around the black-hole primary. Unlike previous studies, no assumptions are made about...
