We present the results of a multi-epoch radio monitoring campaign measuring the milliarcsecond structure of the jet in the radio-quiet quasar PG1407+263. This is the highest-sensitivity, highest-resolution multi-year study of a distant…
We present an in-depth study of the large-scale, western jet of the microquasar XTE J1550-564, based on X-ray and radio observations performed in 2002-2003. The jet is spatially resolved in both observing windows. The X-ray jet is expanding…
We present observations of the SS 433 jets using the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer with contemporaneous optical and VLBA observations. The X-ray and optical emission line regions are found to be related but not…
The results of VLBI observations of the quasar 3C273, obtained during a multi-frequency campaign in late 1992 in the radio, millimeter and X-ray bands are presented and discussed. The VLBI observations were made at 22 GHz with a Global…
We conducted a multi-wavelength campaign in September-October, 2002, to observe SS 433. We used 45 meter sized 30 dishes of Giant Meter Radio Telescope (GMRT) for radio observation, 1.2 meter Physical Research Laboratory Infra-red telescope…
A new class of X-ray sources was clearly established with the discovery of highly relativistic radio jets from the galactic sources GRS 1915+105 and GRO J1655-40. Both of these objects have given us a broader view of black holes and the…
We present results based on the first 20 Chandra images obtained in a survey of jets in radio selected flat-spectrum quasars (FSRQs), along with new sub-arcsecond radio maps and optical images. We discover jet X-ray flux in 12 sources…
The flat spectrum radio quasar 1633+382 (4C~38.41) showed a significant increase of its radio flux density during the period 2012 March - 2015 August which correlates with gamma-ray flaring activity. Multi-frequency simultaneous VLBI…
We analyze Chandra X-ray images of a sample of 11 quasars that are known to contain kiloparsec scale radio jets. The sample consists of five high-redshift (z >= 3.6) flat-spectrum radio quasars, and six intermediate redshift (2.1 < z < 2.9)…
The two galactic `microquasars' with superluminal radio jets have been quite active during 1996, generatinga variety of studies involving both NASA and ground-based observatories. GRS~1915+105 has displayed dramatic accretion instability in…
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…
We present a multi-wavelength study of the Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar PKS 1222+216, analyzing its long-term variability of radio data obtained in 2013-2020 from the iMOGABA, MOJAVE, and VLBA-BU-BLAZAR programs, along with $\gamma$-ray data…
We present 14.5-year multi-wavelength analysis of flat-spectrum radio quasar B2 1348+30B using Swift-UVOT, Swift-XRT, and Fermi-LAT observations. In the gamma-ray band, the 3 day bin lightcurve reveals two major flaring events on 2010-09-19…
Radio galaxies with jets of relativistic particles are usually hosted by massive elliptical galaxies with active nuclei powered by accretion of interstellar matter onto a supermassive black hole. In some rare cases (<5%), their jets drive…
At radio frequencies, the current evidence for the microquasar-quasar connection is based on imaging observations showing that relativistic outflows/jets are found in both classes of objects. Some microquasars also display superluminal…
SS433 is an X-ray binary emitting persistent relativistic double sided jets that expand into the surrounding W50 radio nebula. The SS433/W50 system is then an excellent laboratory for studying relativistic jet interaction with the…
Microquasars are accreting binary systems displaying relativistic radio jets where very high energy gamma rays might be produced via Inverse Compton scattering. The detection of the microquasar Cygnus X-3 above 100 MeV by both Fermi/LAT and…
We report on two surveys of radio-weak AGN to look for radio variability. We find significant variability with an RMS of 10-20% on a timescale of months in radio-quiet and radio-intermediate quasars. This exceeds the variability of radio…
Cygnus X-3, hosting a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star whose dense wind produces various spectral lines due to photoionization by X-rays from a compact object, provides an ideal laboratory for studying wind dynamics and density structure. We measured…
With frequent flaring activity of its relativistic jets, Cygnus X-3 is one of the most active microquasars and is the only Galactic black hole candidate with confirmed high energy Gamma-ray emission, thanks to detections by Fermi/LAT and…
