The research aims to analyze the X-ray emission properties of the quiescent black hole X-ray binary XTE J1118+480 using multizone jet models.
Applied the BHJet multizone jet model to the broadband spectrum of XTE J1118+480.
Compared model fits to previous work using an earlier jet model.
Analyzed X-ray emission attributed to synchrotron self-Compton and synchrotron-cooled radiation.
Identified two statistically comparable model fits for X-ray emission.
Found synchrotron self-Compton to be the more realistic explanation for emission.
Confirmed the jet base is cooler and more compact in quiescence compared to hard state black hole binaries.
