A microquasar shot out from its birth place
I. F. Mirabel, I. Rodrigues, Q. Z. Liu
We show that the microquasar LSI+61303 is running away from its birth place in a young complex of massive stars. The supernova explosion that formed the compact object shot out the…
Optical polarimetric observations of the microquasar LS 5039
J. A. Combi, S. A. Cellone, J. Marti +3
We present the first optical polarimetric observations of the runaway microquasar LS 5039. Our results reveal the presence of a large amount (~5%) of polarized emission towards thi…
On the nature of the unidentified X-ray/gamma-ray sources IGR J18027-1455 and IGR J21247+5058
J. A. Combi, M. Ribo, I. F. Mirabel
We present a multiwavelength study of the environment of the unidentified X-ray/gamma-ray sources IGR J18027-1455 and IGR J21247+5058, recently discovered by the IBIS/ISGRI instrum…
INTEGRAL monitoring of the Black Hole candidate 1E 1740.7-2942
M. Del Santo, A. Bazzano, D. M. Smith +24
The brightest persistent Galactic black hole candidate close to the Galactic Centre, 1E 1740.7-2942, has long been observed with INTEGRAL. In this paper, we report on the long-term…
Microquasar-AGN-GRB Connections
I. F. Mirabel
I review the progress made on the physics of black hole systems in the context of the analogy between AGN and microquasars that was proposed one decade ago. If the emerging empiric…
GRS 1915+105: The first three months with INTEGRAL
D. C. Hannikainen, O. Vilhu, J. Rodriguez +19
GRS 1915+105 is being observed as part of an Open Time monitoring program with INTEGRAL. Three out of six observations from the monitoring program are presented here, in addition t…
