We report the X-ray observations of the Galactic X-ray transient source GRS 1915+105 with the PPCs of the Indian X-ray Astronomy Experiment(IXAE) onboard the Indian satellite IRS-P3 during 1997 June - August, which have revealed the…

Among the population of known galactic black hole X-ray binaries, GRS 1915+105 stands out in multiple ways. It has been in continuous outburst since 1992, and has shown a wide range of different states that can be distinguished by their…

We present results from six epochs of quasi-simultaneous radio, (sub-)millimetre, infrared, optical, and X-ray observations of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI~J1535$-$571. These observations show that as the source transitioned through the…

We present data on the monitoring of the Galactic X-ray transient GRS 1915+105 at 15 GHz with the Ryle Telescope. We have found quasi-periodic oscillations with periods in the range 20-40 min which are tentatively associated with the…

We report a large misalignment between the continuous jet and the discrete ejecta in GRS 1915+105, detected in April 2023 with the East Asian VLBI network (EAVN). Two-sided ejecta are shown at 6.7 GHz images and central continuous jets are…

We report preliminary results of mid-infrared (MIR) and X-ray observations of GRS 1915+105 that we carried out between 2004 October 2 and 2006 June 5. Our main goals were to study its variability, to detect the presence of dust, and to…

Using the Very Long Baseline Array, we have measured a trigonometric parallax for the micro quasar GRS 1915+105, which contains a black hole and a K-giant companion. This yields a direct distance estimate of 8.6 (+2.0,-1.6) kpc and a…

The X-ray/radio transient superluminal jet source GRO J1655-40 was recently suggested to contain a black hole from optical observations. Being a relatively close-by system (d \sim 3.2 kpc), it can likely provide us with rich information…

The origins of X-ray and radio emissions during an X-ray binary outburst are comparatively better understood than those of ultraviolet, optical and infrared radiation. This is because multiple competing mechanisms peak in these mid-energy…

We investigate the connection between the X-ray and radio properties of the Galactic microquasar GRS1915+105, by analyzing the X-ray data observed with RXTE, during the presence of a huge radio flare (~450 mJy). The X-ray lightcurve shows…

The bright, erratic black hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105 has long been a target for studies of disk instabilities, radio/infrared jets, and accretion disk winds, with implications that often apply to sources that do not exhibit its exotic…

Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) and Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) sources are compact radio galaxies (RGs), with jets extending up to 20 kpc and ages <10^3 years. They are considered to evolve to Fanaroff-Riley RGs, but the real scenario to…

We present a detailed analysis of the X-ray/IR fast variability of the Black-Hole Transient GX 339-4 during its low/hard state in August 2008. Thanks to simultaneous high time-resolution observations made with the VLT and RXTE, we performed…

We use data obtained with the PCA onboard RXTE to analyze the spectral variations of the black hole candidate and superluminal source GRS 1915+105. Our results suggest that despite the complicated structure of the X-ray light curve, all…

GRS 1915+105 has the largest mass function of any Galactic black hole system, although the error is relatively large. Here we present spectroscopic analysis of medium-resolution IR VLT archival data of GRS 1915+105 in the K-band. We find an…

The results of X-ray observations of Galactic superluminal jet source GRS 1915+105 during its low luminosity state and state transitions in October, 1996 - April, 1997 with PCA and HEXTE instruments aboard Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE)…

We examine stochastic variability in the dynamics of X-ray emission from the black hole system GRS 1915+105, a strongly variable microquasar commonly used for studying relativistic jets and the physics of black hole accretion. The analysis…

We have compared simultaneous Ryle Telescope (RT) radio and Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) X-ray observations of the galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105. We find that radio emission, and therefore also the radio jet, requires the presence…

We present a temporal analysis of a BeppoSAX observation of GRS 1915+105 performed on April 13, 1999 when the source was in the rho class, which is characterised by quasi-regular bursting activity. The aim of the present work is to confirm…

To date, mid-infrared properties of Galactic black hole binaries have barely been investigated in the framework of multi-wavelength campaigns. Yet, studies in this spectral domain are crucial to get complementary information on the presence…
