The superluminal source GRS 1915+105: A high-mass X-ray binary?

We obtained K-band (2.0-2.5 μm) infrared spectra of the visually obscured superluminal source GRS 1915+105 at three different epochs of 1995, at times when it was detected as a hard X-ray source. The three spectra exhibit H I Brγ (2.167 μm) and He I (2.058 μm) emission lines. The spectral morphology...
