Theoretical aspects of microquasars
نویسنده
چکیده
Microquasars (black hole X-ray binaries with relativistic jets) are first found by means of multiwavelengths observations with ground-based telescopes. Microquasars mimic, on a much smaller scale, many of their phenomena seen in quasars. The study about microquasars opens the door for better understanding of the relativistic jets elsewhere in the Universe, and may serve to determine the distance of the jet sources; the connection between the flow instabilities and the ejection of relativistic clouds (formation of jet); the fundamental plane of black hole activity and the black hole’s spin.

High energy processes in microquasars
Microquasars are X-ray binary stars with the capability to generate relativistic jets. It is expected that microquasars are γ-ray sources, because of the analogy with quasars and because the theoretical models predict emission at such energy range. In addition, from observational arguments, there are two microquasars that appear as the possible counterparts for two unidentified high-energy γ-ra...

Microquasars are binary systems in our Galaxy which sporadically eject matter at relativistic speeds along bipolar jets. While phenomenologically similar to quasars, their vicinity allows much more in-depth studies. I review the observational aspects of microquasars, in particular the new developments on the interplay between accretion disk instabilities and jet ejection.
متن کاملOn the radio/X-ray correlation in microquasars
Context. The broadband spectral energy distribution of microquasars has proven to be a valuable tool for assessing the roles of jets and accretion flows in microquasars, as well as the coupling between the two. The coupling might manifest itself observationally in the correlated radio and X-ray variabilities of a source. Such a radio/X-ray correlation has indeed been seen in several microquasar...
متن کامل2 00 4 1 Phenomenological Analogies in Black Hole Systems of all Masses
I review the progress made on the physics of relativistic jets from black hole systems in the context of the analogy between AGN and microquasars that was proposed one decade ago. If the emerging empirical correlations between the observational properties of stellar and supermassive black holes will become more robust, we will use them to determine the mass and spin of black holes, independentl...
متن کاملApplying Magnetized Accretion - Ejection Models to Microquasars : a preliminary step
We present in this proceeding some aspects of a model that should explain the spectral state changes observed in microquasars. In this model, ejection is assumed to take place only in the innermost disc region where a large scale magnetic field is anchored. Then, in opposite to conventional ADAF models, the accretion energy can be efficiently converted in ejection and not advected inside the ho...
