Testing the Jet Quenching Paradigm with an Ultradeep Observation of a Steadily Soft State Black Hole

We present ultradeep radio observations with the Expanded Very Large Array of 4U 1957+11, a Galactic black hole (BH) candidate X-ray binary known to exist in a persistent soft X-ray state. We derive a stringent upper limit of 11.4 µJy beam–1 (3s) at 5-7 GHz, which provides the most rigorous upper li...
