Scientific paper

We have been monitoring black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) for over ten years with the SMARTS consortium telescopes (and its precursor YALO) at CTIO. We will present lightcurves of a variety of well-known systems including A0620-00, GX 339-4, V4641 Sgr (=SAX 1819-2525), GRO J1915+105, GRO J1655-40 and others. The use of the ANDICAM instrument allows us to monitor these sources in both optical and IR bandpasses. We show that it is possible in many cases to divide the observed flux between flux from the secondary star and flux from the accretion flow, and in some cases between thermal emission from the accretion flow and a non-thermal component that presumably originates in a jet.
