Scientific paper

There is currently a raging debate within the black hole community which can be summarized as: Do the black holes in quiescent x-ray nova accrete {or not}?. The answer to this question is fundamental to black hole research, for example a positive answer supports the 'proof' of event horizons in black holes, while a negative answer discredits this proof. XTE J1118+480 is likely the nearest black hole x-ray nova, and definitely has the lowest { m A_V}. Chandra {and HST} observations of this system during the mini-outbursts which may occur in AO2 will allow the most complete view of a black hole accretion disk during a time when the mass transfer in the outer disk is enhanced. By studying the inner disk in the x-ray and UV region we hope to determine if the mass transfer into the black hole is similarly enhanced.
