Microquasars: Open Questions and Future Perspectives
I. F. Mirabel
The discovery and subsequent study of microquasars lead to major progress in our understanding of: 1) the nature of relativistic jets seen elsewhere in the universe, and 2) the con…
Mid-Infrared observations of GRS 1915+105 and SS433
Y. Fuchs, I. F. Mirabel, R. N. Ogley
We have observed in the mid-infrared (4-18 micron) the counterpart of the compact object GRS 1915+105, and the western jet of SS433. The images were carried out with the ISOCAM inf…
On the nature of the microquasar V4641 Sagittarii
S. Chaty, I. F. Mirabel, J. Marti +1
We present photometric and spectroscopic optical and near-infrared (NIR) observations taken during the outburst on September 1999 of the source V4641 Sgr = SAX J1819.3-2525 (in'tza…
VLT search for the infrared counterpart of 1E 1740.7-2942
Josep Marti, I. Felix Mirabel, Sylvain Chaty +1
We report the results of our search for the near infrared counterpart of the microquasar 1E 1740.7-2942 using the VLT (Based on observations collected at the European Southern Obse…
Spatial resolution bias in the mid-infrared Starburst/AGN classification
O. Laurent, I. F. Mirabel, V. Charmandaris +4
We present the effects of limited spatial resolution to the observed mid-infrared (MIR) spectrum of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) surrounded by a disk with massive star forming…
Gamma-Ray Bursts as a Cosmic Window for Galaxy Evolution
I. F. Mirabel, D. B. Sanders, E. Le Floc'h
Present knowledge indicates that gamma-ray bursts are linked with massive stars. They will become invaluable probes of the early universe and galaxy formation. In the future, it wi…
