The microquasar V404 Cygni (also known as GS 2023+338) was previously reported to have weak GeV gamma-ray emission in sub-day time periods during its 2015 outburst. In order to provide more detailed information at the high energy range for…
The dominant fraction of the extragalactic $\gamma$-ray sources are blazars, active galactic nuclei with jets inclined at a small angle to the line of sight. Apart from blazars, a few dozen narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1) and a number…
Comprehensive VLBI and multi-waveband monitoring indicate that a single superluminal knot can cause a number of gamma-ray flares at different locations. However, the often very rapid variability timescale is a challenge to theoretical…
The SS433 objects is a well-known source of relativistic jets, which are formed in supercritical accretion disk. It is very probable that the disk has polar channels and their radiation is collimated (the photocones). The face-on SS433…
B2013+370 and B2023+336 are two blazars at low-galactic latitude that were previously proposed to be the counterparts for the EGRET unidentified sources, 3EG J2016+3657 and 3EG J2027+3429. Gamma-ray emission associated with the EGRET…
We report the detection of a molecular cloud, CO+40.05-2.40, positionally coincident with the "heartbeating" GeV source Fermi J1913+0515 at the northern boundary of the SS 433/W50 system. Millimeter and submillimeter spectroscopy with the…
We present five epochs of simultaneous radio (VLA) and X-ray (Chandra) observations of SS 433, to study the relation between the radio and X-ray emission in the arcsecond-scale jets of the source. We detected X-ray emission from the…
The unique microquasar SS433 is a massive X-ray binary system at an advanced evolutionary stage. The optical star overflows its Roche lobe and transfers mass at a very high rate onto a black hole surrounded by a supercritical accretion disk…
Violent multi-wavelength variabilities are observed in gamma-ray-selected blazars. We present an analysis of long-term light curves for eight bright blazars to explore the co-variation pattern in the gamma-ray and radio bands. We extract…
We present results from a short series of blue, moderate resolution spectra of the microquasar binary, SS 433. The observations were made at a time optimized to find the spectrum of the donor star, i.e., when the donor was in the foreground…
Certain lines in spectra of the Galactic microquasar SS 433, in particular the brilliant H alpha line, have been interpreted as emission from a circumbinary disk. In this interpretation the orbital speed of the glowing material is in excess…
We report BVR photometry of the V1343 Aql= SS 433 microquasar at different phases of the 13-day orbital cycle for the 1986-1990 observing seasons. The data include five complete cycles of the 163$^{d}$ precession period of the system. We…
The mildly relativistic jets of SS\,433 are believed to inflate the surrounding supernova remnant W\,50 depositing in its expansion possibly more than 99% of their kinetic energy (\cite[1998]{Dub98}). Where and how this transformation of…
The SS433, a well-known binary system with an internal black hole, have shown since half a century, an inner (a few year light distances) twin precessing jets spirals. These beams are made by tidal forces while stripping mass from large…
Microquasars are X-ray binaries with relativistic jets. The microquasar LS 5039 turned out to be the first high-energy gamma-ray microquasar candidate due to its likely association with the EGRET source 3EG J1824-1514. Further theoretical…
We present mid-infrared spectra of the microquasar SS 433 obtained with the Infrared Space Observatory (spectroscopic mode of ISOPHOT) and compare them to the spectra of four Wolf-Rayet stars. The mid-infrared spectrum of SS 433 shows…
We present high-resolution optical spectroscopy of the X-ray binary system SS433, obtained over a wide range of orbital phases. The spectra display numerous weak absorption features, and include the clearest example seen to date of those…
Apart from regular monitoring by ASM, the compact object SS 433 was observed with RXTE several times last two/three years. We present the first analysis of these observations. We also include the results of the recent exciting TOO campaign…
Context. Gamma-ray binaries are systems composed of a massive star and a compact object whose interaction leads to particle acceleration up to relativistic energies. In the last fifteen years, a few binaries have been discovered to emit at…
The Very Large Array has been used at five frequencies to study the structure and linear polarization of SS433 on scales as small as ~0.1" ~ 500 AU. Each jet consists of a sharp, curving ridge-line at the leading edge, plus significant…
