Abstract
In 1998 September, the X-ray transient XTE J1550-564 underwent a major outburst in soft and hard X-rays, followed by a radio flare. Australian Long Baseline Array images obtained shortly after the peak in the radio flare showed evolving structure. The components observed have an apparent separation velocity of >2c.
