GRO J1655-40 enters a highly-variable, high-luminosity state Jeroen Homan (MIT), Jon M. Miller (CfA), Rudy Wijnands (U. of Amsterdam), and Walter H.G. Lewin (MIT) Recent RXTE observations of the black hole X-ray transient GRO J1655-40, which is currently in outburst (e.g. ATEL #414,#417,#418,#419,#432,#438), show that the source has entered a highly variable, high-luminosity state. During the past two months the source has been steadily increasing in luminosity, while remaining spectrally soft.
