Scientific paper

In 1967 the X-ray nova Cen X-2 was observed in a succession of several sounding rocket flights and reached an astounding maximum observed intensity of 13 Crab. The faint (0.12 Crab) 1987 X-ray nova GS1354-64 and its optical counterpart (BW Cir) appear to be one and the same as Cen X-2. If this association is true, then scaling from A0620-00, we would expect the X-ray novae to lie at a distance of ~1-2 kpc and be relatively bright in quiescence. These observations would therefore provide a high quality spectrum of a BHXN in quiescence. We expect the mass function to be determined soon, and therefore the quiescent luminosity will provide additional evidence for the faintness of BHs relative to NSs.
