چکیده

Variable non-thermal radio emission from Galactic X-ray binaries is a trace of relativistic jets, created near accretion disks. The spectral characteristics of a lot of radio flares in the X-ray binaries with jets (RJXB) is discussed in this report. We carried out several long daily monitoring programs with the RATAN-600 radio telescope of the sources: SS433, Cyg X-3, LS I +61303, GRS 1915+10 and some others. We also reviewed some data from the GBI monitoring program at two frequencies and hard X-ray BATSE (20-100 keV) and soft X-ray RTXE (2-12 keV) ASM data. We confirmed that flaring radio emission of Cyg X-3 correlated with hard and anticorrelated with soft X-ray emission during the strong flare (> 3 Jy) in May 1997. During two orbital periods we investigated radio light curves of the remarkable X-binary LS I +61303. Two flaring events near a phase 0.6 of the 26.5-day orbital period have been detected for first time at four frequencies simultaneously. Powerful flaring events of SS433 were detected at six frequencies in May 1996 and in May 1999. The decay of the flare is exactly fitted by an exponential law and the rate of the decay τ depends upon frequency as τ ∝ ν−0.4 in the first flare and does not depend upon frequency in the second flare, and is equal to τ = 6 ± 1 days at frequencies from 0.96 to 21.7 GHz in the last flare in May 1999. Many flaring RJXB show two, exponential and power, laws of flare decay. Moreover, these different laws could be present in one or several flares and commonly flare decays are faster at a higher frequency. The decay law seems to change because of geometric form of the conical hollow jets. The synchrotron and inverse Compton losses could explain general frequency dependences in flare evolution. In conclusion we summarized the general radio properties of RJXB. X-rays binaries with jets The Galactic plane bright X-ray sources are close binaries, in which a neutron star (NS) or black hole (BH) traps matter from a companion, forming a accretion disk. Amongst ∼ 250 X-ray binaries only ∼ 30 are detected as radio sources (Sν > 1 mJy). Many (or all!) such bright sources resolved into the relativistic jets with detectable proper motion of bright blobs. This sample of 10-15 such X-ray binaries with jets (RJXB) is extremely interesting for understanding of the astrophysical relativistic jets phenomenon. In this paper I discuss mainly spectral and temporal properties of the RJXB radio emission. I would like to address the reader to some remarkable reviews, devoted to properties of RJXB:

The power of jets: New clues from radio circular polarization and X-rays

Jets are ubiquitous in accreting black holes. Often ignored, they may be a major contributor to the emitted spectral energy distribution for sub-Eddington black holes. For example, recent observations of radio-to-X-ray correlations and broad band spectra of X-ray binaries in the low/hard state can be explained by a significant synchrotron contribution from jets also to their IR-to-X-ray spectru...

Constraints on relativistic beaming from estimators of the unbeamed flux

We review the statistical properties of relativistic Doppler boosting relevant for studies of relativistic jets from compact objects based on radio–X-ray(–mass) correlations, such as that found in black-hole X-ray binaries in the low/hard state, or the “fundamental plane” of Merloni, Heinz, & DiMatteo. We show that the presence of only moderate scatter in such relations does not necessarily imp...

Relativistic superluminal radio jets in microquasars in our galaxy

We discuss the origin of superluminal radio jets in Black hole X-ray binaries with relativistic radio jets in our Galaxy popularly known as microquasars. We classify the relativistic superluminal jet according to the radio emission in black hole X-ray binaries (transient or persistent) rather than the mass of the companion. The black hole X-ray binaries with transient radio emission (mostly LMX...

Disk−jet Connection in the Microquasar Grs 1915+105 and Ir and Radio Emission

We present evidence of a direct accretion disk − jet connection in the Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 based on our analysis of RXTE/PCA data with a “spike” in X-ray light curves. We find that the radio emission increases as the hardness ratio increases during the low hard state. We suggest that the “spike” which separates the dips with hard and soft spectra marks the beginning of the burst p...

Using SKA to observe relativistic jets from X-ray binary systems

I briefly outline our current observational understanding of the relativistic jets observed from X-ray binary systems, and how their study may shed light on analogous phenomena in Active Galactic Nuclei and Gamma Ray Bursts. How SKA may impact on this field is sketched, including the routine tracking of relativistic ejections to large distances from the binaries, detecting and monitoring the ra...
