Description
Since its discovery in 1992, the superluminal X-ray transient GRS
1915+105 has been extensively observed in an attempt to understand its
behaviour. We present here preliminary results from a multi-wavelength
campaign undertaken from July to September 1996. This study includes
X-ray data from the RXTE All Sky Monitor and BATSE, two-frequency data
from the Nancay radio telescope, and infrared photometry from the 1.8m
Perkins telescope at Lowell Observatory. The K-band data presented
herein provide the first long-term well-sampled IR light curve of GRS
1915+105. We compare the various light curves, searching for
correlations in the behaviour of the source at differing wavelengths and
for possible periodicities.
