Abstract

Description

We have observed microquasar GRS 1915+105 at 1.28 GHz for 8 days from June 18 to July 1, 2001 using Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). We have seen several isolated radio baby flares of varying intensity and duration. We have also observed broad composite flares with rise and decay times of few hours on June 28-29, 2001 few days prior to when source went to the ``plateau radio state'' on 3rd July, 2001. These broad radio flares consist of several overlapping baby radio flares. The source was in the low-hard X-ray state during this period. We compare these results with 15 GHz radio data from the Ryle telescope.
