Abstract
Model continuum spectra of the accretion disk in the black hole binary A0620-00 are calculated assuming it has a standard alpha-disk structure. The optical and X-ray fluxes obtained are in very good agreement with the observations, provided the mass transfer rate is about 5 x 10 to the -8th solar masses/yr during outburst and less than 10 to the -11th solar masses/yr in quiescence. The absence of significant X-ray emission in quiescence is a natural consequence of the relatively low temperatures encountered in accretion disks with very low mass throughput. 12 references.
