Descripción
The black hole X-ray binary (BHXB) GX 339-4 continues to fade in the
optical, and has now reached its faintest optical flux since (at least)
the start of its 2006-7 outburst (ATels #968, #1027). In this outburst,
the source reached peak magnitude values of V ~ 15 and I ~ 14. On the
decline of the outburst the source twice re-brightened for several
months and displayed large amplitude variability (ATels #1586, #1588,
#1945, #1954, #1960, #1962).
