Microquasars: disk–jet coupling in stellar-mass black holes

نویسنده

  • I. Félix Mirabel
چکیده

Microquasars provide new insights into: 1) the physics of relativistic jets from black holes, 2) the connection between accretion and ejection, and 3) the physical mechanisms in the formation of stellar-mass black holes. Furthermore, the studies of microquasars in our Galaxy can provide in the future new insights on: 1) a large fraction of the ultraluminous X-ray sources in nearby galaxies, 2) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) of long duration in distant galaxies, and 3) the physics in the jets of blazars. If jets in GRBs, microquasars and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are due to a unique universal magnetohydrodynamic mechanism, synergy of the research on these three different classes of cosmic objects will lead to further progress in black hole physics and astrophysics.

Microquasars: summary and outlook

Microquasars are compact objects (stellar-mass black holes and neutron stars) that mimic, on a smaller scale, many of the phenomena seen in quasars. Their discovery provided new insights into the physics of relativistic jets observed elsewhere in the universe, and in particular, the accretion–jet coupling in black holes. Microquasars are opening new horizons for the understanding of ultralumino...

Black Hole, Jet, and Disk: the Universal Engine

In this paper I review the results of our ongoing project to investigate the coupling between accretion disk and radio jet in galactic nuclei and stellar mass black holes. We find a good correlation between the UV bump luminosity and the radio luminosities of AGN, which improves upon the usual [OIII]/radio correlations. Taking mass and energy conservation in the jet/disk system into account we ...

Relativistic outflows are a common phenomenon in accreting black holes. Despite the enormous differences in scale, accreting stellar-mass black holes (X-ray binaries, collapsars) and super-massive black holes produce jets with analogous physical properties. Here I review microquasars as sources of relativistic jets, gamma-rays, cosmic rays, and high energy neutrinos. 1. The quasar-microquasar a...
