GRS 1915+105 is a transient black hole X-ray binary consistently emitting 10-100% of the Eddington luminosity in the X-ray band during the last three decades until mid-2018 when the source luminosity suddenly decreased by an order of…

The emission from Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole in the Galactic Center, shows order of magnitude variability ("flares") a few times a day that is particularly prominent in the near-infrared (NIR) and X-rays. We present a…

We report a large misalignment between the continuous jet and the discrete ejecta in GRS 1915+105, detected in April 2023 with the East Asian VLBI network (EAVN). Two-sided ejecta are shown at 6.7 GHz images and central continuous jets are…
