We propose a simple dynamical model that may account for the observed spectral and temporal properties of GRS 1915+105 and XTE J1550-5634. The model is based on the assumption that a fraction of the radiation emitted by a hot spot lying on…

(abridged) Two XMM-Newton observations of the black-hole binary GRS1915+105 were triggered in 2004, during a long "plateau" state of the source. (...) While the light curves show just small amplitude variations (a few percent) at timescales…

We discuss the results of the radio studies of the X-ray binaries with relativistic jets. We carried out a multi-frequency (1-30 GHz) daily monitoring of the radio flux variability of the microquasars SS433, GRS1915+105, and Cyg X-3 with…
