Descripción
The neutron star X-ray binary Aql X-1 shows quasi-periodic outbursts about once a year. These active states are relatively well covered in optical/infrared and X-ray domains. In contrast, at radio wavelengths the observations are very scarce (IAUC #5112; ATEL #286; ATEL #491). Following the reports of a new outburst of the object (ATEL #1970; ATEL #1977), we observed Aql X-1 on March 25th, 2009 between 03:00-10:00 UT at 5 GHz with the European VLBI Network (EVN) using the e-VLBI technique.
