We report on the timing analysis of RXTE observations of the Galactic micro-quasar GRS 1915+105 performed in 2003. Out of a total of six times ~20 ks, we focus here only on the three observations during which GRS 1915+105 is found in a…

We analyze a set of three RXTE Target of Opportunity observations of the Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105, observed on April 2000, during a multi-wavelength campaign. During the three observations, a strong, variable low frequency (2-9 Hz)…

We present the first results of simultaneous INTEGRAL and RXTE observations of the microquasar GRS 1915+105. We focus on the analysis of the unique highly variable observation and show that we might have observed a new class of variability.…

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 present the first results of the timing analysis of our RXTE/INTEGRAL monitoring campaign on GRS 1915+105. Over the 6 already performed RXTE observations, we study the presence of Low Frequency QPO (LFQPO), and their energetic…

From data obtained from the PCA in the 2-11 keV and 11-30.5 keV energy range, GRS 1915+105 is seen during RXTE observations between 1996 May and October on two separate branches in a hardness intensity diagram. On the hard branch, GRS…

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 analyzed two 1996 observations of the Galactic Microquasar GRS 1915+105 taken with the Proportional Counter Array on board the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. We focus on the properties of the high-frequency QPO as a function of the `dip'…

The Galactic microquasars GRS1915+105 and GRO J1655-40 were targets for dedicated monitoring programs with RXTE throughout 1996 and 1997. We review recent results with particular attention to the X-ray QPOs seen in these sources. We confirm…

We report on timing and spectral observations of the microquasar XTE J1550-564 during its 2000 outburst made by the Rossi X-ray Timing Experiment (RXTE). We study the spectral properties of the source during both the rise to the outburst…

We show that the galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 exhibits quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) whose frequency varies continuously from 1-15 Hz, during spectrally hard dips when the source is in a flaring state. We report here analyses of…

We investigate the origin of the ubiquitous 0.5 - 10 Hz QPO in the Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105. Using the archival X-ray data from RXTE, we make a wide band X-ray spectral fitting to the source during a low-hard state observed in 1999…

We present a study of the properties of strong 0.8-3.0 Hz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) that occurred during 1997 RXTE observations of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 in the low-hard state. The high count rates allow us to track…

We present the results of the timing analysis of five Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations of the Black Hole Candidate GRS 1915+105 between 1996 September and 1997 December. The aim was to investigate the possible presence of a type-B…

It is widely believed that the low frequency quasi-periodic X-ray oscillations observed in microquasars are correlated to, but do not originate at, the physical radius of the inner edge of the accretion disk. Models relating the QPO…

We present results from the analysis of X-ray energy spectra and quasi- periodic oscillations (QPOs) from a set of observations which samples a broad range of time variability in GRS 1915+105. We first demonstrate that the frequency and…

We present a detailed X-ray study of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 during a variability class transition observed in 2000 June with the PPCs of the Indian X-ray Astronomy Experiment. We supplement this observation with data from the RXTE…

We have analyzed AstroSat observations of the galactic micro-quasar system GRS 1915+105, when the system exhibited C-type Quasi-periodic Oscillations (QPOs) in the frequency range of 3.4-5.4 Hz. The broad band spectra (1-50 keV) obtained…

We report the discovery in archival Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) data of a 40 Hz quasiperiodic oscillation (QPO) in the hard X-ray flux from the galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105. The QPO is detected only in the hard X-ray band above…
