We analyzed radio and X-ray observations of GRS 1915+105, between May 1995 and June 2006, focusing on the times characterized by radio flares and cycles of hard dips-soft spikes in the X-ray lightcurve. Assuming these flares to be discrete…

The large mechanical luminosity of the jets of GRS 1915+105 should give rise to luminous emission regions, similar to those observed in radio galaxies, where the jets interact with the gas surrounding the source. However, no radio…

Theoretical and observational work show that jets from AGN can trigger star formation. However, in the Milky Way the first -and so far- only clear case of relativistic jets inducing star formation has been found in the surroundings of the…

We discuss the results of the monitoring programs of the X-ray binaries with relativistic jets studies. We carried out a multi-frequency (1-30 GHz) daily monitoring of the radio flux variability of the microquasars SS433, GRS1915+105, V4641…

Multiple near-infrared wavelengths observations, carried out since 1993 on the galactic superluminal source of relativistic ejections GRS 1915+105, have yielded three important results. 1) The infrared counterpart of GRS 1915+105 exhibits…

We have observed an extended region surrounding the first discovered galactic superluminal source GRS 1915+105, seeking evidence of interaction between the relativistic ejecta of that object and the interstellar medium. We find two radio…

Powerful relativistic jets are one of the ubiquitous features of accreting black holes in all scales. GRS 1915+105 is a well-known fast-spinning black-hole X-ray binary with a relativistic jet, termed as a ``microquasar'', as indicated by…

Simultaneous X-ray (BeppoSAX, 0.1-300 keV) and radio (Ryle Telescope, 15 GHz) observations of the superluminal galactic source GRS 1915+105 in high flux state were carried out starting October 1996. Here we present the simultaneous…

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…

GRS 1915+105 has exhibited at least three modes of long-wavelength (infrared to radio) flares. Class A flares are the bright ($\sim 1$ Jy) radio events whose apparent superluminal motion in many ways defines the microquasars. Class B flares…
