The runaway black hole GRO J 1655 - 40 ⋆
We have used the Hubble Space Telescope to measure the motion in the sky and compute the galactocentric orbit of the black hole X-ray binary GRO J1655-40. The system moves with a runaway space velocity of 112± 18 km s in a highly eccentric (e = 0.34± 0.05) orbit. The black hole was formed in the disk at a distance greater than 3 kpc from the Galactic centre and must have been shot to such eccen...
متن کاملA Precise Determination of Angular Momentum in the Black Hole Candidate Gro J1655-40
We note that the recently discovered 450 Hz frequency in the X-ray flux of the black hole candidate GRO J1655-40 is in a 3:2 ratio to the previously known 300 Hz frequency of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) in the same source. If the origin of high frequency QPOs in black hole systems is a resonance between orbital and epicyclic motion of accreting matter, as suggested previously, the angular...
متن کاملBroad-band X-Ray Spectra of the Black Hole Candidate GRO J1655{40
We present broad-band (2 keV to 2 MeV) x-ray spectra of GRO J1655{40, a luminous X-ray transient and occasional source of relativistic radio jets, obtained with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) and the Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment (OSSE). In one observation, the luminosity is found to be 18% of the Eddington limit, which is one of the highest luminosities ever observed f...
متن کاملComptel Observations of Gro J1655-40
GRO J1655-40 is a transient black-hole candidate that has been shown to eject matter at apparently superluminal velocities. OSSE spectra measured during X-ray outbursts are consistent with a single power law up to 600 keV, with no evidence for a high-energy cutoo. Flaring behaviour of GRO J1655-40 has also been claimed to be detected up to 10 MeV during observations with the balloon-borne HIREG...
متن کاملAn Optical Precursor to the Recent X-ray Outburst of the Black Hole Binary GRO J1655-40
The All Sky Monitor on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer detected an X-ray (2-12 keV) outburst from the black hole binary GRO J1655-40 beginning near April 25, 1996. Optical photometry obtained April 20-24, 1996 shows a steady brightening of the source in B, V , R, and I beginning about six days before the start of the X-ray outburst. The onset of the optical brightening was earliest in I and lat...
