The relativistic jets of XTE J1550-564 (PCHE)
S. Corbel
XTE J1550-564 is one of the only few transient black hole candidates, for which multiple outbursts have been observed (1998-99, 2000, 2001, 2002). We will present the results of a campaign of multiwavelength observations including ATCA (radio), VLT (optical) and Chandra (X-ray) in order to highlight the behaviour of the large scale relativistic jets of XTE J1550-564 over the past four years. Comparison with AGN jet models will be discussed.
