Low Frequency GMRT Observations of Microquasar V4641 Sgr
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have observed the micro-quasar V4641 Sgr (SAX J1819.3-2525) at the time of flare during May 2002, using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope at low radio frequencies (244 and 610 MHz). This is the lowest frequency radio detection of the source. The source showed clear signature of spectral evolution from optically thick to thin state. We model the spectral evolution of the source to obtain some of the source parameters. Assuming the value of magnetic field strength to be in the range of 0.1 to 1 Gauss, we obtain the initial velocity of expansion of the jet to be in the range ∼ 0.45c to 0.25c. This is consistent with the known expansion velocities of the jet with other microquasars.

GMRT Observations of Microquasar V4641 Sgr
We report the GMRT observations of V4641 Sgr during the May 2002 outburst at radio frequencies of 610 and 244 MHz. This is the lowest frequency radio detection of this source. The present low frequency radio observations clearly showed spectral evolution from the optically thick to thin state. This behavior is broadly consistent with the expanding bubble model. However, the flux densities obser...
متن کاملSgr A* at low radio frequencies: GMRT observations
The central region of the Galaxy has been observed at 580, 620 and 1010 MHz with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). We detect emission from Sgr A*, the compact object at the dynamical centre of the Galaxy, and estimate its flux density at 620 MHz to be 0.5±0.1 Jy. This is the first detection of Sgr A* below 1 GHz (Roy & Rao 2002, 2003), which along with a possible detection at 330 MHz ...
متن کاملChandra Detections of Two Quiescent Black Hole X-ray Transients
Using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, we have detected the black hole transients V4641 Sgr and XTE J1859 226 in their low-luminosity quiescent states. The 0.3–8 keV luminosities are (d/7 kpc) ergs s 1 and 3.3 31 (4.0 ) # 10 2.4 (d/11 kpc) ergs s 1 for V4641 Sgr and XTE J1859 226, respectively. With the addition of 4.8 31 (4.2 ) # 10 2.2 these two systems, 14 out of the 15 transients with confirm...
متن کاملSuper-Eddington outburst of V4641 Sgr
X–ray transients provide unique opportunity to probe accretion regimes of at a vastly different accretion rates. We analyze a collection of the RXTE observations (Galactic Center scans, ASM monitoring and a pointed observation) of enigmatic transient source high mass X-ray binary V4641 Sgr and argue that they broadly support the hypothesis that giant September 1999 outburst was associated with ...
متن کاملThe Rapid X-Ray Variability of V4641 Sagittarii (SAX J1819.3-2525 = XTE J1819-254).
We report on the rapid X-ray variability of the variable star and X-ray transient V4641 Sagittarii (SAX J1819.3-2525 = XTE J1819-254) as observed on 1999 September 15 by the proportional counter array (PCA) on board the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. During the first approximately 900 s of the first PCA observation, V4641 Sgr showed very strong X-ray fluctuations by a factor of 4 on timescales of...
