We present an exhaustive analysis of five broad-band observations of GRS 1915+105 in two variability states, chi and omega, observed simultaneously by the PCA, HEXTE and OSSE. We find all the spectra well fitted by Comptonization of disc…

We report on results of two years of INTEGRAL/SPI monitoring of the Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105. From September 2004 to May 2006, the source has been observed twenty times with long (approx 100 ks) exposures. We present an analysis of…

(abridged) This is the second paper presenting the results of two years of monitoring of GRS 1915+105 with \integral and \rxte and the Ryle Telescope. We present the X-ray spectral and temporal analysis of four observations which showed…

The Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) has observed the Cygnus region on several occasions since its launch in 1991. The data collected by the COMPTEL experiment on CGRO represent the most sensitive observations to date of Cygnus X-1 in…

We present a comprehensive study of GRS 1915+105 in wide energy band ($0.5-60$ keV) using AstroSat observations during the period of $2016-2019$. The MAXI X-ray lightcurve of the source shows rise and decay profiles similar to canonical…

We report the results of our multi-wavelength observations of GRS 1758-258 made in August 1997. The energy bands include radio, millimeter, X-ray, and gamma-ray. The observations enable us to obtain a complete spectrum of the source over an…

The galactic superluminal motion source GRS 1915+105 has been extensively observed with the RXTE satellite over the last two years. More than 250 RXTE pointings have been performed until mid-May 1998 with more than 1.5 Msec exposure time on…

A comparison of ROSAT observations with simultaneous BATSE monitoring data shows a different intensity evolution in the soft and hard X-ray band of GRS 1915+105 since 1992. In addition, fits of simultaneous ROSAT/BATSE spectra require more…

We present the result of multi-wavelength observations of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 in a plateau state with a luminosity of ~7.5x10^{38) erg s-1 (~40% L_Edd), conducted simultaneously with the INTEGRAL and RXTE satellites, the ESO/NTT,…

GRS 1915+105 is observed in an 'obscured' phase since May 2019, exhibiting steady and low X-ray luminosities, while being intervened by sporadic re-brightenings. In this work, we perform a comprehensive and wide-band analysis of the…

We present four X-ray/gamma-ray spectra of Cyg X-1 observed in the hard ('low') state simultaneously by Ginga and GRO/OSSE on 1991 July 6. The 3-30 keV Ginga spectra are well represented by power laws with an energy spectral index of…

We present the results from a multiwavelength campaign of GRS 1915+105 performed from 2000 April 16 to 25. This is one of the largest coordinated set of observations ever performed for this source, covering the wide energy band in radio…

We present results from the Suzaku observation of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 performed during the 2005 October multiwavelength campaign. The data include both stable state (class \chi) and limit-cycle oscillation (class \theta). Correct…
