Global optical/infrared–X-ray correlations in X-ray binaries: quantifying disc and jet contributions

The optical/near-infrared (OIR) region of the spectra of low-mass X-ray binaries (XBs) appears to lie at the intersection of a variety of different emission processes. In this paper we present quasi-simultaneous OIR–X-ray observations of 33 XBs in an attempt to estimate the contributions of various...
