Abstract
We present sensitive images of the microquasar GRS 1758-258 at two different radio wavelengths. The positions, flux densities and spectral indices of the central source and the extended radio lobes are reported. Our results confirm the synchrotron nature of the radio lobes. We also present a very deep radio image of the jet flow at arcminute scales. The source VLA-C, previously proposed as the exciting source of the system, is found to coincide with the Chandra position.


Key words: stars: individual: GRS 1758-258 -- stars: winds, outflows

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
