Relativistic Jets from X-ray binaries
Preprint
- 5 July 1999
Abstract
In this review I summarise the status of observational research into relativistic jets from X-ray binaries, highlighting four areas in particular: (i) How relativistic are the jets ?, (ii) The disc : jet coupling, (iii) the nature of the underlying flat spectral component, and (iv) the relation between jets from black holes and those from neutron stars. I have attempted to discuss the extent of our (limited) physical understanding, and to point the way towards relevant new observational tests of the various phenomena.Keywords
