Scientific paper

We propose to obtain the first high-quality, wide-band spectral energy distribution (SED) of the neutron star X-ray nova Cen X-4 in quiescence. We will compare this SED to those we have previously obtained for black hole X-ray novae (BHXN) in quiescence. Our previous comparisons of SEDs have been very powerful in revealing the nature of these exotic objects; for example they have revealed the best evidence yet for the existence of event horizons. These wide-band, high quality SEDs have revealed the presence of ADAFs in BHXN, and are revealing the presence of winds (ADIOS) and/or convection (CDAFs) in these flows. Previous SEDs of Cen X-4 have suffered from non-simultaneity and have not included the FUV, where the emission may well peak.
