ROSAT observations of GRO J1655-40
Abstract
We have observed GRO J1655-40 with the ROSAT HRI between the first two of the three outbursts in 1994. Besides improving the X-ray position we derive a distance of d=~3kpc from the dust scattering halo. Combination with radio measurements suggest that the X-ray emission originates in an accretion disk or corona rather then in a jet.
