Descripción
We present XMM-Newton observations of the black hole X-ray nova V404 Cyg
in quiescence. Its quiescent spectrum can be best fitted by a simple
power law with slope Γ~2. The spectra are consistent with that
expected for the advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF). V404 Cyg was
roughly equal in luminosity compared to the previous observation of
Chandra. We see variability of a factor of 4 during the observation. We
find no evidence for the presence of fluorescent or H-like/He-like iron
emission, with upper limits of 52 and 110 eV, respectively. The limit on
the fluorescent emission is improved by a factor of 15 over the previous
estimate, and the restriction on H-like/He-like emission is lower than
predicted from models by a factor of roughly 2.
