In 1994 February-August we observed with the VLA four ejection events of radio emitting clouds from the high energy source GRS 1915+105. These events are all consistent with anti-parallel ejections of twin pairs of clouds moving away from…

We present a timing analysis of two Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 during the heartbeat state. The phase-frequency-power maps show that the intermediate-frequency aperiodic X-ray variability weakens…

We have analyzed in detail a set of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations of the galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 corresponding to times when quasi-periodic oscillations in the infrared have been reported. From time-resolved…

Diffuse radio emission was detected around the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1806-20, after its 2004 powerful giant flare. We study the possible extended X-ray emission at small scales around SGR 1806-20, in two observations by the High…

To unravel the effect of likely interactions between the energetic ejections of the galactic superluminal source GRS 1915+105 and its surrounding interstellar medium, we observed its environment. Two IRAS sources are symmetrically placed…

We demonstrate correlated rapid variability between the optical/UV and X-ray emission for the first time in a soft X-ray transient, GRO J1655-40: HST light curves show similar features to those seen by RXTE, but with mean delay of 10-20s.…

We present GMRT observations of the Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 at 1.28 GHz for 8 days from 2001 June 18 to July 1. We have seen several isolated radio flares of varying magnitudes (20 - 50 mJy) and durations (6 - 35 min) and we model…

We report on the analysis of 100 ks INTEGRAL observations of the Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105. We focus on INTEGRAL Revolution number 48 when the source was found to exhibit a new type of variability as preliminarily reported in…

We study high-energy $\gamma$-rays observed from Cyg X-3 by the Fermi Large Area Telescope and the 15-GHz emission observed by the Ryle Telescope and the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager. We measure the $\gamma$-ray spectrum averaged over…

We present the first quick look analysis of data from nine {\it AstroSat}'s LAXPC observations of GRS 1915+105 during March 2016 when the source had the characteristics of being in Radio-quiet $\chi$ class. We find that a simple empirical…

We present X-ray light curves (1.5-12 keV) for fifteen gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the All-Sky Monitor on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. We compare these soft X-ray light curves with count rate histories obtained by the…

We present evidence of a direct accretion disk-jet connection in the Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 based on our analysis of RXTE/PCA data with a ``spike'' in X-ray light curves. We find that the radio emission increases as the hardness…

We have examined the radio emission characteristics of the micro-quasar GRS 1915+105 during its X-ray emission states as classified by Belloni et al. (2000). We find that the radio emission is high during the 'chi_1' and 'chi_3' states (the…
