High resolution studies of radio emitting X-ray binaries

This thesis describes an investigation of high-energy accretion in stellar-mass black holes and neutron stars using radio and X-ray observations. In particular, two of the largest Galactic X-ray binaries, with black hole masses of rv 10 M0 were examined in detail: GRS 1915+105 and Cygnus X-I. Observ...
