“…It has also been suggested that the radio modulation is due to orbital changes in the lineof-sight free-free absorption of the stellar wind from the massive companion star (Brocksopp, Fender & Pooley 2002;Szostek & Zdziarski 2007). During the soft state, VLBI observations presented here have shown the jet flux at 4 cm is contained within ∼0.7 au which is approximately an order of magnitude smaller than in the hard state at the same wavelength (Rushton 2009). Therefore, the soft state quenching of the radio flux could be partly due to an increased absorption by the wind as the emission originates closer to the black hole and companion star.…”

“…Targeted radio and X-ray observations of Cygnus X-1 were triggered after a series of Astronomer's Telegram 1 reports suggested a hardto-soft state transition was starting in late 2010 June (e.g. Negoro et al 2010;Rushton et al 2010;Sabatini et al 2010). Table 1 gives a summary of all long baseline radio observations and Fig.…”

We present evidence for the presence of a weak compact jet during a soft X-ray state of Cygnus X-1. Very-high-resolution radio observations were taken with the VLBA, EVN and MERLIN during a hard-to-soft spectral state change, showing the hard state jet to be suppressed by a factor of about 3-5 in radio flux and unresolved to direct imaging observations (i.e. < 1 mas at 4 cm). High time-resolution X-ray observations with the RXTE-PCA were also taken during the radio monitoring period, showing the source to make the transition from the hard state to a softer state (via an intermediate state), although the source may never have reached the canonical soft state. Using astrometric VLBI analysis and removing proper motion, parallax and orbital motion signatures, the residual positions show a scatter of ~0.2 mas (at 4 cm) and ~3 mas (at 13 cm) along the position angle of the known jet axis; these residuals suggest there is a weak unresolved outflow, with varying size or opacity, during intermediate and soft X-ray states. Furthermore, no evidence was found for extended knots or shocks forming within the jet during the state transition, suggesting the change in outflow rate may not be sufficiently high to produce superluminal knots.Comment: Accepted in MNRAS; 4 figures and 1 tabl

Inspired by the distinction that Gilles Deleuze drew between the ‘movement-image’ and the ‘time-image,’ the paper considers the ‘film’—the ‘skin’—of ‘film geography,’ not in terms of the customary geography of film, the geography in film, or the geography from film, but rather in terms of geography as film, a literal ‘film’ geography or ‘filmic’ geography. To get under the skin of film geography, the paper proceeds in three parts. The first part shatters the conception of film as a re-presentation. The second touches a raw nerve by channelling the power of the false. The third splits open and unfolds the two faces of film, namely the ‘movement-image’ and the ‘time-image.’ By way of conclusion, the paper ends its flaying of film geography with a ‘stirring still’ taken from Michael Madsen’s (2010) Into Eternity: A Film for the Future, which documents the construction of Onkalo, the world’s first deep-geological nuclear-waste disposal facility that must remain undisturbed for at least 100,000 years once the tomb is sealed in the early twenty-second century.
