The Infrared Counterpart of the Microquasar Grs 1758−258
We present revised infrared (2.2μm) astrometry of the field containing the Galactic microquasar GRS 1758−258, using observations at the Keck I 10-m telescope. We find three candidates for the microquasar within a 3σ error circle, but none within 2σ. We show that if the 18.4 day X-ray period of GRS 1758−258 is due to a binary orbit, then only one of the three candidates, an early K-type giant, i...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of Infrared Flares from the Microquasar GRS
We present near-infrared medium-resolution (R ∼ 875) spectra of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 on 1997 August 13-15 UTC from the Hale 200-inch telescope. The spectra show broad emission lines of He I (2.058 μm) and H I (2.166 μm Brγ), consistent with previous work. On August 14 UTC, we took spectra with ∼ 6-minute time resolution during infrared flaring events similar to those reported in Eikenbe...
متن کاملFaint Infrared Flares from the Microquasar GRS 1915+105.
We present simultaneous infrared and X-ray observations of the Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 using the Palomar 5 m telescope and Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer on 1998 July 10 UT. Over the course of 5 hr, we observed six faint infrared (IR) flares with peak amplitudes of approximately 0.3-0.6 mJy and durations of approximately 500-600 s. These flares are associated with X-ray soft-dip/soft-fla...
متن کاملTime - Dependent Disk Models for the Microquasar Grs 1915 + 105
During the past two years, the galactic black hole microquasar GRS 1915+105 has exhibited a bewildering diversity of large amplitude, chaotic variability in X-rays. Although it is generally accepted that the variability in this source results from an accretion disk instability, the exact nature of the instability remains unknown. Here we investigate different accretion disk models and viscosity...
