Faulkes Telescope Light Curves of MAXI J1659-152

See our ATels with the first optical results from Faulkes in September 2010 here and the fade towards quiescence in July 2011 here. Read the paper we contributed to by Corral-Santana et al., “The long-term optical evolution of the black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152” here.
