The triple radio source detected in association with the luminous infrared source IRAS 16547-4247 has previously been studied with high angular resolution and high sensitivity with the Very Large Array (VLA) at 3.6-cm wavelength. In this…

We report simultaneous millimetre and infrared observations of a sequence of very large amplitude quasi-periodic oscillations from the black hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105. These oscillations are near the end of a sequence of over 700…

We have observed in the mid-infrared (4-18 micron) the counterpart of the compact object GRS 1915+105, and the western jet of SS433. The images were carried out with the ISOCAM infrared camera on board of the Infrared Space Observatory…

The Infrared Space Observatory was used to search for a tracer of the warm and dense neutral interstellar medium, the [O I] 63.18 micron line, in four ultraluminous IRAS sources lying at redshifts between 0.6 and 1.4. While these sources…

A multiwavelength study of the star forming regions associated with IRAS 19111+1048 and IRAS 19110+1045 has been carried out. These have been simultaneously mapped in two far infrared bands at lambda_eff ~ 130 and 200 micron with ~1'…

We investigate the association between the radio ``plateau'' states and the large superluminal flares in GRS 1915+105 and propose a qualitative scenario to explain this association. We identify several candidate superluminal flare events…

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…

We present data from the first of six monitoring Open Time observations of GRS 1915+105 undertaken with the orbiting INTEGRAL satellite. The source was clearly detected with all three X-ray and gamma-ray instruments on board. GRS 1915+105…

We have used high resolution longslit spectroscopy to investigate the ionized gas in the active galaxy IRAS 04210+0400 and its association with the radio structure. We suggest that two of the ionized components are associated with the…
