We report on long-term K band photometry of the galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 since March 1999. We see variations of more than 1 mag, which are seemingly correlated with variations in X-ray intensity and spectral slope.

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 report the results of 3 observations of GRS 1915+105 during which the source is found to show the X-ray dips/spike sequences (cycles). These observations were performed simultaneously with \integral, RXTE, the Ryle and Nancay radio…

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…
