Superluminal Radio-Jet X-Ray Sources: Binary Systems?
D Hannikainen1 and Ph Durouchoux2
Show affiliationsGROJ1655-40 and GRS 1915+105 are the two confirmed superluminal radio jet X-ray sources in the Galaxy. They have both exhibited plasmoid ejections at relativistic velocities.
An optical counterpart has been observed for GROJ1655-40 and subsequent radial velocity measurements revealed the mass of the compact object to be greater than the theoretical and observational upper limit to the mass of a neutron star. As yet, no optical counterpart to GRS 1915+105 has been observed, probably due to the heavy extinction towards the source, and thus its true nature is still in question. We have searched for a possible periodicity in the light curves of GRS 1915+105, based on the repetitions of the plasmoid ejections, which could link these ejections to an orbital period of a binary system.
