| Summary:
Powerful relativistic jets are one of the ubiquitous features of accreting
black holes in all scales. GRS 1915+105 is a well-known fast-spinning
black-hole X-ray binary with a relativistic jet, termed as a “microquasar”,
as indicated by its superluminal motion of radio emission. It exhibits
persistent x-ray activity over the last 30 years, with quasi-periodic
oscillations of $sim 1-10$ Hz and 34 and 67 Hz in the x-ray band. These
oscillations likely originate in the inner accretion disk, but other origins
have been considered. Radio observations found variable light curves with
quasi-periodic flares or oscillations with periods of $sim 20-50$ minutes.
Here we report two instances of $sim$5 Hz transient periodic oscillation
features from the source detected in the 1.05-1.45 GHz radio band that occurred
in January 2021 and June 2022, respectively. Circular polarization was also
observed during the oscillation phase.
