First e-VLBI observations of GRS 1915+105
A. Rushton, R. E. Spencer, M. Strong +10
We present results from the first successful open call e-VLBI science run, observing the X-ray binary GRS 1915+105. e-VLBI science allows the rapid production of VLBI radio maps, w…
Structure in the radio counterpart to the 2004 Dec 27 giant flare from SGR 1806-20
R. P. Fender, T. W. B. Muxlow, M. A. Garrett +7
On Dec 27, 2004, the magnetar SGR 1806-20 underwent an enormous outburst resulting in the formation of an expanding, moving, and fading radio source. We report observations of this…
CSSs in a sample of B2 radio sources of intermediate strength
D. J. Saikia, P. Thomasson, R. E. Spencer +3
We present radio observations of 19 candidate compact steep-spectrum (CSS) objects selected from a well-defined, complete sample of 52 B2 radio sources of intermediate strength. Th…
Variable circular polarisation associated with relativistic ejections from GRS 1915+105
R. P. Fender, D. Rayner, D. G. McCormick +4
We report the discovery of variable circularly polarised radio emission associated with relativistic ejections from GRS 1915+105, based on observations with the Australia Telescope…
FIRST-based survey of Compact Steep Spectrum sources I. MERLIN images of arc-second scale objects
M. Kunert, A. Marecki, R. E. Spencer +2
Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) sources are powerful extragalactic radio sources with angular dimensions of the order of a few arcseconds or less. Such a compactness is apparently lin…
Radio flares and plasmon size in Cygnus X-3
R. N. Ogley, S. J. Bell Burnell, R. E. Spencer +3
We have observed a number of minor radio flares in Cyg X-3 using the MERLIN array. Photometric observations show the system to be highly active with multiple flares on hourly times…
Spectral evidence for a powerful compact jet from XTE J1118+480
R. P. Fender, R. M. Hjellming, R. P. J. Tilanus +4
We present observations of the X-ray transient XTE J1118+480 during its Low/Hard X-ray state outburst in 2000, at radio and sub-millimetre wavelengths with the VLA, Ryle Telescope,…
Compact steep-spectrum sources from the S4 sample
D. J. Saikia, S. Jeyakumar, C. J. Salter +3
We present the results of 5-GHz observations with the VLA A-array of a sample of candidate Compact Steep Spectrum sources (CSSs) selected from the S4 survey. We also estimate the s…
ISO observations of a sample of Compact Steep Spectrum and GHz Peaked Spectrum Radio Galaxies
C. Fanti, F. Pozzi, R. Fanti +13
We present results from observations obtained with ISOPHOT, on board the ISO satellite, of a representative sample of seventeen CSS/GPS radio galaxies and of a control sample of si…
Radio Observations of the Black Hole Candidate GX 339-4
S. Corbel, R. P. Fender, P. Durouchoux +4
The black hole candidate GX 339-4 was first detected as a variable radio source by Sood & Campbell-Wilson in May 1994 with the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST). Sinc…
