Abstract (from CDS):

We report the first quiescent detection of KV UMa, the optical counterpart of XTE J1118+480, in the near-infrared. The observed magnitudes and colours are consistent with a K7-M0V star, at the distance of 1.4±0.2 kpc. The light curve shows strong orbital modulation with possible contamination from a superhump detected in the quiescent optical light curves.
