چکیده
We present results of spectral and timing analysis based on 11 RXTE PCA/HEXTE observations of the microquasar XTE J1550-564 during its last outburst in January 2002. The observed behaviour is comparable to most Black-Hole Candidates in the low/hard state This is unlike the 1998-99 outburst, when it showed a much more complex feature, probably because of the higher luminosity. For each of the 11 observations we extracted energy spectra and power density spectra, finding typical features of a low/hard state.

We report the results of two Chandra X-ray Observatory High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer observations, made shortly after peak X-ray luminosity during the May, 2000 outburst of galactic microquasar XTE J1550−564. The observations were separated by 2.5 days. Nearly simultaneous observations were made with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. We constrain the X-ray continuum emission in t...

We report preliminary results of a RossiXTE campaign on the 2002 outburst of the black-hole candidate GX 339–4. We show power density spectra of five observations during the early phase of the outburst. The first four power spectra show a smooth transition between a Low State and a Very High State. The fifth power spectrum resembles a High State, but a strong 6 Hz QPO appears suddenly within 16...

We report optical, infrared, and X-ray light curves for the outburst, in 2000, of the black hole candidate XTE J1550-564. We find that the start of the outburst in the H and V bands precedes that seen in the RXTE All Sky Monitor by 11.5±0.9 and 8.8±0.6 days, respectively; a similar delay has been observed in two other systems. About 50 days after the primary maxima in the VIH light curves, we f...

We report on X-ray observations of the the large-scale jets recently discovered in the radio and detected in X-rays from the black hole candidate X-ray transient and microquasar XTE J1550–564. On 11 March 2002, X-ray emission was detected 23 ′′ to the West of the black hole candidate and was extended along the jet axis with a full width at half maximum of 1.2 ′′ and a full width at 10% of maxim...
