We present evidence of a direct accretion disk-jet connection in the Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 based on our analysis of RXTE/PCA data with a ``spike'' in X-ray light curves. We find that the radio emission increases as the hardness…
We interpret the rapid correlated UV/optical/ X-ray variability of XTEJ1118+480 as a signature of the coupling between the X-ray corona and a jet emitting synchrotron radiation in the optical band.We propose a scenario in which the jet and…
We analyzed the rapid aperiodic X-ray variability of different types of X-ray binaries (black hole candidates, atoll sources, the recently discovered millisecond X-ray pulsar, and Z sources) at their lowest inferred mass accretion rates. At…
We present various instability mechanisms in the accreting black hole systems which might indicate at the connection between the accretion disk and jet. The jets observed in microquasars can have a persistent or blobby morphology.…
We investigate the correlation between 151 MHz radio luminosity, L_151MHz, and jet power, P_jet, for a sample of low-power radio galaxies, of which the jet power is estimated from X-ray cavities. The jet power for a sample of FR I radio…
We apply a model of magnetically dominated coronae above standard accretion discs to the low/hard state of galactic black holes. When the disc-corona coupling is accounted for self-consistently assuming that magneto-rotational instability…
In the last decade multi-wavelength observations have demonstrated the importance of jets in the energy output of accreting black hole binaries. The observed correlations between the presence of a jet and the state of the accretion flow…
Structured jets are recently invoked to explain the complex emission of gamma ray bursts, such as GW 170817. Based on the accretion simulations, the jets are expected to have a structure that is more complex than a simple top-hat. Also, the…
The properties of relativistic radio jets are thought to be closely connected with the properties of accretion disks in active galactic nuclei. We explore this issue using a sample of 35 blazars with very-long baseline observations, for…
Blazars display strong variability on multiple timescales and in multiple radiation bands. Their variability is often characterized by power spectral densities (PSDs) and time lags plotted as functions of the Fourier frequency. We develop a…
We present the energy-dependent power spectral density (PSD) and cross-spectral properties of Mkn 766, obtained from combining data obtained during an XMM-Newton observation spanning six revolutions in 2005 with data obtained from an…
It is believed that the spectral state transitions of the outbursts in X-ray binaries (XRBs) are triggered by the rise of the mass accretion rate due to underlying disc instabilities. Recent observations found that characteristics of disc…
We present results from the analysis of X-ray power density spectra and coherence when GRS 1915+105 is in soft states. We use three data sets that belong to $\mu$, $\phi$ and $\delta$ classes in Belloni et al (2000). We find that the power…
We present results from modeling of quasi-simultaneous broad band (radio through X-ray) observations of the galactic stellar black hole (BH) transient X-ray binary (XRB) systems XTE J1118+480 and GX 339-4 using an irradiated disc + compact…
The study of short-term variability properties in AGN jets has the potential to shed light on their particle acceleration and emission mechanisms. We report results from a four-day coordinated multi-wavelength campaign on the highly-peaked…
Accreting black holes show a complex and diverse behaviour in their soft spectral states. Although these spectra are dominated by a soft, thermal component which almost certainly arises from an accretion disc, there is also a hard X-ray…
The optical/ultraviolet (UV) variability of quasars has been discovered to be correlated with other quasar properties, such as luminosity, black hole mass and rest-frame wavelength. However,the origin of variability has been a puzzle so…
X-ray disk winds are detected in spectrally soft, disk-dominated phases of stellar-mass black hole outbursts. In contrast, compact, steady, relativistic jets are detected in spectrally hard states that are dominated by non-thermal X-ray…
Our study presents a time-resolved X-ray spectral analysis of Mkn 421, using AstroSat observations taken during different epochs between 2016 and 2019. The variability of the source in X-rays is utilized to investigate the evolution of its…
