We report on near-infrared and optical observations of the GRB 970616 error box and of the X-ray sources discovered by ASCA and ROSAT in the region. No optical transient was found either within the IPN band or in the X-ray error boxes,…
We imaged the X-ray error box of GRB 980703, beginning 22.5 hours after the gamma--ray event, in both the optical R and near-infrared H bands. A fading optical/IR object was detected within the X-ray error box, coincident with the variable…
Millimeter observations of the galactic source of relativistic ejections GRS 1915+105 (Mirabel & Rodriguez 1994) are consistent with this source being at a kinematic distance D = 12.5 +/- 1.5 kpc from the Sun, behind the core of a molecular…
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…
GRS 1915+105 is observed in an 'obscured' phase since May 2019, exhibiting steady and low X-ray luminosities, while being intervened by sporadic re-brightenings. In this work, we perform a comprehensive and wide-band analysis of the…
The luminous infrared-loud quasar IRAS 13349+2438 was observed with the XMM-Newton Observatory as part of the Performance Verification program. The spectrum obtained by the Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) exhibits broad (v ~ 1400 km/s…
After 26 years in outburst, the black hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105 dimmed considerably in early 2018; its flux dropped sharply in mid-2019, and it has remained faint ever since. This faint period, the "obscured state," is punctuated by…
We have discovered an x-ray source, SAX J0635+0533, with a hard spectrum within the error box of the GeV gamma-ray source in Monoceros, 2EG J0635+0521. The unabsorbed x-ray flux is 1.2*10^-11 erg cm^-2 s^-1 in the 2-10 keV band. The x-ray…
The Chandra AO1 HETGS observation of the micro-quasar GRS 1915+105 in the low hard state reveals (1) neutral K absorption edges from Fe, Si, Mg, and S in cold gas, and (2) highly ionized (Fe XXV and Fe XXVI) absorption attributed to a hot…
We have performed a ROSAT follow-up observation of the X-ray transient SAX J1810.8-2609 on March 24, 1998 and detected a bright X-ray source (named RX J1810.7-2609) which was not detected during the ROSAT all-sky survey in September 1990.…
We present a comprehensive study of GRS 1915+105 in wide energy band ($0.5-60$ keV) using AstroSat observations during the period of $2016-2019$. The MAXI X-ray lightcurve of the source shows rise and decay profiles similar to canonical…
(abridged) We present an analysis of the deepest hard X-ray survey to date of about 2500 deg^2 performed by the IBIS instrument on board INTEGRAL in the 20-60 keV band, with a total exposure time of 4 Ms. We find 34 candidate sources. The…
We report on Hubble Space Telescope observations of the optical transient discovered in the error box of GRB970508. The object was imaged on 1997 June 2 with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and Near-Infrared Camera and Multi-Object…
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…
GRS 1915+105 has the largest mass function of any Galactic black hole system, although the error is relatively large. Here we present spectroscopic analysis of medium-resolution IR VLT archival data of GRS 1915+105 in the K-band. We find an…
GRS 1915+105, one of the two known galactic microquasars, shows an extremely complex variability in the X-ray band, comparable to no other X-ray source in the sky. Making use of RXTE/PCA data, we have analyzed the X-ray spectral…
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…
We report the discovery of a transient equivalent hydrogen column density with an absorption edge at ~3.8 kiloelectron volts in the spectrum of the prompt x-ray emission of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 990705. This feature can be satisfactorily…
The European gamma-ray observatory INTEGRAL has found a group of hard X-ray sources which are highly absorbed, i.e., with column densities higher than about 10^{23}/cm^2. Here I give an overview of this class of INTEGRAL sources. The X-ray,…
4C+15.05, (also known as NRAO 91, PKS 0202+14 or J0204+15), is a quintessential blazar. It has a luminous, variable radio spectrum, a super-luminal jet, and gamma-ray detections. Arecibo observations with the 700-800 MHz receiver on the…
