An artist's impression of a relativistic jet propagating away from a black hole at close to the speed of light. Such jets are formed by the inner regions of the accretion flow: matter flowing inwards towards the black hole, via processes which are not yet fully understood. The accretion flow emits primarily in X-rays, the relativistic jet in the radio band: by combing observations in each band we can try and understand how such jets form and how much energy they carry away from the black hole.

MERLIN observations of superluminal motions in GRS 1915+105

Abstract:

We present a brief discussion of high resolution observations of relativistic ejections from GRS 1915+103 with MERLIN. We have imaged superluminal motions in the inner 300 milliarcsec of several ejections from the system, with significantly higher proper motions than previously observed on arcsecond scales with the VLA. Under standard assumptions of an intrinsically symmetric jet, we derive a velocity for the ejecta which is higher then the previously accepted value of 0.92c, although the angle to the line of sight is comparable. © 1999 OPA (Overseas Publishers Association) N.V Published by license under the Gordon and Breach Science Publishers imprint.
