Black hole X-ray transients: Results from recent multiwavelength observations

We report preliminary results from multi-wavelength multiepoch observations of XTEJ1859+226 and XTEJ1118+480. The outburst lightcurves and IR-optical-UV spectra of XTEJ1859+226 suggest an irradiation-prolonged thermal-viscous disc instability model for the outburst. XTEJ1859+226 probably has P-orb l...
