NOTES

4U 1630-472: The peak X-ray flux was obtained from the 2003 outburst (Tomsick2005) , the brightest one detected so far. It has shown quasi-periodic outburst with recurrence times of ∼600-700 d and durations of 100-200 d (Kuulkers1997). The K-band magnitude was not transformed into AB system.
