We have performed, in October 2005, a deep Chandra X-ray observation of HH 154. Comparison with the previous (2001) Chandra observation allows to detect proper motion down to the level predicted by models of X-ray emitting shocks in the…

We report multifrequency radio observations of XTE J1550-564 obtained with the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope and the Australia Telescope Compact Array at the time of its discovery and subsequent hard and soft X-ray outburst in…

The recently discovered Galactic X-ray transient XTE J1752-223 entered its first known outburst in 2010, emitting from the X-ray to the radio regimes. Its general X-ray properties were consistent with those of a black hole candidate in…

We propose a simple dynamical model that may account for the observed spectral and temporal properties of GRS 1915+105 and XTE J1550-5634. The model is based on the assumption that a fraction of the radiation emitted by a hot spot lying on…

[abridged] The black hole X-ray binary XTE J1550-564 was monitored extensively at X-ray, optical and infrared wavelengths throughout its outburst in 2000. We show that it is possible to separate the optical/near-infrared (OIR) jet emission…

We present the X-ray images of all the available Chandra observations of the galactic jet source SS 433. We have studied the morphology of the X-ray images and inspected the evolution of the arcsec X-ray jets, recently found to be…

We present observations of the X-ray transient XTE J1118+480 during its Low/Hard X-ray state outburst in 2000, at radio and sub-millimetre wavelengths with the VLA, Ryle Telescope, MERLIN and JCMT. The high-resolution MERLIN observations…

SS 433, located at the center of the W 50 radio nebula, is a binary system that ejects jets oriented east-west with precessional motion. X-ray lobes, containing compact "knots" labeled as head (e1), lenticular (e2), and ring (e3) in the…

We report on the direct observation of an extended X-ray jet in the $z$=6.1 radio-loud Active Galactic Nucleus PSO J030947.49+271757.31 from a deep Chandra X-ray observation (128 ksec). This detection represents the most distant kpc…

This letter reports rich X-ray jet structures found in the Chandra observation of PKS 1055+201. In addition to an X-ray jet coincident with the radio jet we detect a region of extended X-ray emission surrounding the jet as far from the core…

We investigate the timing behavior of XTE J1550-564 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) as the source made a transition to the hard state during the decay of the 2000 outburst. We detect a high frequency QPO at 65 Hz in one…

We model the kiloparsec-scale synchrotron emission from jets in 10 Fanaroff-Riley Class I radio galaxies for which we have sensitive, high-resolution imaging and polarimetry from the Very Large Array. We assume that the jets are…

We are conducting an X-ray survey of flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) with extended radio structures. We summarize our results from the first stage of our survey, then we present findings from its continuation. We have discovered jet…

X-ray time lags are complicated in nature. The exact reasons for complex lag spectra are yet to be known. However, the hard lags, in general, are believed to be originated due to the inverse Comptonization process. But, the origin of soft…

W50 is a radio nebula around hyper-accreting Galactic microquasar SS~433. Here we focus on one peculiar feature of W50 - a pair of so-called "extended X-ray jets" (EXJs). These "jets" have a size of $\sim20\, {\rm pc}$, a sharp inner…

We report the Chandra discovery of an X-ray jet associated with the redshift 4.3 radio-loud quasar GB 1508+5714. The jet X-ray emission peaks ~2 arcsec to the South-West of the quasar core. We present archival HST WFPC2 data of the quasar…

Reverberation observations have uncovered an Fe K{\alpha} fluorescence line in the tidal disruption event (TDE) Swift J1644+57 (Kara et al. 2016). The discovery paper used the lag spectrum to argue that the X-ray continuum source was…
