Scientific paper

Black holes of all sizes, from stellar mass to supermassive, undergo quiescent periods. The quiescent behavior likely differs from luminous phases, but there are large uncertainties in the geometry and physical conditions of the accreting gas. At a basic level, we do not even know if observed emission is dominated by inflowing or outflowing gas. We propose a detailed multiwavelength study of the brightest quiescent stellar mass black hole, V404 Cyg. We will build upon our previous successful observations and will i) use an echo-mapping experiment to explore the structure and conditions of the outer disk and test the origin of the optical continuum emission; ii) obtain a high quality X-ray continuum spectrum; iii) search for fluorescent iron line emission.
