Abstract
Observations reveal the presence of powerful jets in the Low/Hard states of several black hole candidate X-ray binaries, so it is important to consider what signatures these outflows will have in the broadband Low/Hard spectrum. Correlations between the radio and X-rays, as well as in at least one case the optical, suggest that emission from a jet, via either synchrotron or inverse Compton (IC) processes, may play a role. The recently discovered X-ray transient XTE Jl 118+480 (Remillard et al., 2000), a black hole candidate in the Low/Hard X-ray state, provides an excellent opportunity for multi-wavelength modeling, since it has been observed not only in the radio through X-rays (see Fender et al., 2000, and references therein), but is also at high enough Galactic latitude to allow the first ever EUV detections of an X-ray transient (Hynes et al., 2000, hereafter H00).
