Scientific paper

We report on a 61 ks BeppoSAX observation of the Soft X-ray Transient Cen X-4 during quiescence which allowed to study the source X-ray spectrum from ~0.3 keV to ~8 keV. A two-component spectral model was required, consisting of black body with temperature of ~0.1 keV and a power law with photon index ~2. These values are compatible with earlier ASCA results indicating that Cen X-4 may be stable, within a factor of a few, over a 5 year baseline. .
