Bright mid-infrared detections of MAXI J1836-194 with VISIR on the VLT: brightening of the compact jet
The new X-ray transient MAXI J1836-194 is a black hole candidate X-ray binary (BHXB; ATel #3611, #3613, #3628 #3652). Its X-ray spectrum was seen to soften (ATel #3618, #3652) but the X-ray flux has recently decayed and the spectrum has hardened (see link below for the light curve and evolution in the X-ray hardness-intensity diagram).
