The black hole X-ray binary transient GRO J1655-40 underwent an outburst beginning in early 2005. We present the results of our multiwavelength observational campaign to study the early outburst spectral and temporal evolution, which combines data from X-ray (RXTE and INTEGRAL), radio (VLA), and optical (ROTSE and SMARTS) instruments.During the reported period, the source left quiescence and.

GRO J1655-40 is an X-ray nova black-hole-candidate binary discovered during an outburst in 1994. Its orbital period has been measured in the visible as 2.62 days, and it exhibits irregular outburst activity. Dynamical measurements suggest that the compact object is a ~7 solar mass black hole.

of GRO J1655−40 during its 2005 outburst rise, which was first detected on February 17 (MJD 53419) with the Propor-tional Counter Array (PCA) instrument on-board the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) (Markwardt & Swank 2005). The source was intensely monitored with RXTE throughout this outburst. There was also exceptional multi-
Space in Images 2003 04 Microquasar GRO J165540
GRO J1655-40 is the second so-called 'microquasar' discovered in our Galaxy. Microquasars are black holes of about the same mass as a star. They behave as scaled-down versions of much more massive black holes that are at the cores of extremely active galaxies, called quasars. Astronomers have known about the existence of stellar-mass black.

NASA / ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows the Year 2001 observation of the black hole system GRO J1655-40 in the constellation of Scorpius. Hubble's high resolution has allowed astronomers to measure the motion of this black-hole system across the sky using this image and an image taken in 1996. Scientists combined the Hubble data with.

GRO J1655-40: Evidence for a Spinning Black Hole. Drawing Credit: A. Hobart, CXC. Explanation: In the center of a swirling whirlpool of hot gas is likely a beast that has never been seen directly: a black hole. Studies of the bright light emitted by the swirling gas frequently indicate not only that a black hole is present, but also likely.
GRO J165540
GRO J1655−40 is a binary star consisting of an evolved F-type primary star and a massive, unseen companion, which orbit each other once every 2.6 days in the constellation of Scorpius. Gas from the surface of the visible star is accreted onto the dark companion, which appears to be a stellar black hole with several times the mass of the Sun.

We report photometric and spectroscopic observations of the black hole binary GRO J1655-40 in complete quiescence. In contrast to the 1995 photometry, the light curves from 1996 are almost completely dominated by ellipsoidal modulations from the secondary star.

GRO J1655−40 is a well-studied Galactic low-mass X-ray binary (Hjellming & Rupen 1995; Orosz et al. 1997; Abramowicz & Kluźniak 2001), whose distance is d ∼ 3.2 kpc (Hjellming & Rupen 1995), orbital period is 2.6 d (Greene, Bailyn & Orosz 2001), and black hole mass is M BH = 5.4 ± 0.3 M ⊙ while the companion star has mass M s = 1.45 ±.

GRO J1655−40 was observed on 20 occasions and data were obtained by all instruments for the majority of epochs. X-ray spectroscopy revealed spectral shapes consistent with the 'canonical' low/hard, high/soft and very high states at various epochs. The soft X-ray source (0.3-10 keV) rose from quiescence and entered the low/hard state.

the observational data in GRO J1655-40, we apply a variety of twin HF QPO models based on the frequencies of the geodesic epicyclic motion of matter in accretion discs orbiting Kerr black holes, i.e. the orbital (azimuthal) frequency of the circular mo- tion, or the radial and vertical epicyclic frequencies.

The analysis of the disk wind of GRO J1655-40, or J1655 for short, confirmed what astronomers had long suspected, namely that magnetic friction is central to understanding how black holes accrete matter rapidly. Without a process to take away some of the angular momentum of the gas, it could remain in orbit around a black hole for a very long time.
