Studying outflows of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is important for understanding the physics of accretion, the evolution of compact binaries, and dynamics of the local interstellar medium. One significant source of these outflows is the accretion disc wind, which can blow away vast amounts of material from the disc before it can be accreted on

Spitzer Space Telescope observations of several quiescent black hole low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) have shown mid-infrared excesses above the emission of a companion star. The excess has been proposed to originate from either a relativistic jet or circumbinary disk. If the mid-IR originates in a jet, then it probes the region closest to the black

Both Galactic dust emission and Cosmic infrared background anisotropies (CIB) act as a dominant foreground contaminant for the measurements of the CMB anisotropies (intensity and polarization) at the frequency range above 217 GHz. The Galactic dust and CIB share a similar form of spectral energy distribution, which makes it harder to disentangle
