We present the first detailed low frequency radio measurements of the galactic microquasar GRS1915+105 with GMRT. Simultaneous observations were carried out at 610 and 244 MHz. Our data does not show any signature of spectral turn over even…

There is currently a clear discrepancy in the proper motions measured on different angular scales in the approaching radio jets of the black hole X-ray binary GRS1915+105. Lower velocities were measured with the Very Large Array (VLA) prior…

We report simultaneous observations in the X-ray, infrared, and radio wavelengths of the galactic superluminal source GRS 1915+105. During episodes of rapid disappearance and follow up replenishment of the inner accretion disk evidenced by…

GRS 1915+105 has exhibited at least three modes of long-wavelength (infrared to radio) flares. Class A flares are the bright ($\sim 1$ Jy) radio events whose apparent superluminal motion in many ways defines the microquasars. Class B flares…
