The first near-infrared detection of XTE J1118 + 480 in quiescence

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2005
We report the first quiescent detection of KV UMa, the optical counterpart of XTE J1118+480 at near infrared. The observed magnitudes and colours are consistent with a K7-M0 V star, at the distance 1.4 +/- 0.2 kpc.
