Observations of the black hole
candidate binary XTE J1118+480 have been carried out with the 100-m
Radio Telescope at Effelsberg (Max Planck Institute for Radio
Astronomy).
The observations took place during 2 time
slots separated by roughly one day (between JD 2453384.47 and
2453385.41) starting approximately 1 day after the VLA observations.
The first set has been carried out under unstable weather conditions
whereas the second part under considerably good ones.
Â
The source has been observed
repeatedly at both frequencies. The weighted measured values are as
follows:
 4.85 GHz: 6.0 +/-0.2 mJy Â
10.45 GHz: 9.1 +/-1.0 mJy Â
XTE J1118+480 was also targeted with
the 32 GHz receiver but unfortunately the bad weather prevented us from
carrying out reliable measurements at this frequency. Nevertheless,
weather permitted, future observations at these band will be attempted.
