SS-433/W50 at TeV Energies

چکیده

The HEGRA CT-System was used to search for TeV gammarays from the microquasar and supernova remnant combination SS433/W50 over the 1998 and 1999 observing seasons, resulting in about 20 hours of useful data. An analysis of various extended sources of location guided by X-Ray observations reveals no evidence for TeV emission at photon energies above 1 TeV, with resulting 99% upper limits in the range 8 to 10% of the Crab flux. For one of these locations, the eastern jet termination, a model predicting a presently detectable TeV gamma-ray flux via the inverse Compton upscattering of microwave background photons is now somewhat constrained. The results and model contraints are briefly discussed.

Multiwavelength Observation of Ss 433 Jet Interaction with the Interstellar Medium

SS 433 is an X-ray binary emitting persistent relativistic double sided jets that expand into the surrounding W50 radio nebula. The SS 433 /W50 system is then an excellent laboratory for studying relativistic jet interaction with the surrounding interstellar medium. In this context, part of W50 nebula has been mapped with ISOCAM at 15 micron, where the large scale X-ray jets are observed. I wil...

The Distance to SS 433/W50 and its Interaction with the Interstellar Medium

The distance to the relativistic jet source SS 433 and the related supernova remnant W50 is re-examined using new observations of H I in absorption from the VLA, H I in emission from the GBT, and CO emission from the FCRAO. The new measurements show H I in absorption against SS 433 to a velocity of 75 km s but not to the velocity of the tangent point, which bounds the kinematic distance at 5.5 ...

XMM − Newton observations of the eastern jet of SS 433

Context. The radio supernova remnant W50 hosts at its center the peculiar galactic X-ray binary SS 433. It shows a central spherical structure with two " ears " which are supposed to be formed by the interaction of the precessing jets of SSwith the supernova shell. Aims. A study of the spectral and spatial structure of the X-ray emission can reveal the physical conditions of the interaction of ...

The Role of Microquasars in Astroparticle Physics

I present an overview of past, present and future research on micro-quasars and jets, showing that microquasars, i.e. galactic jet sources, are among the best laboratories for high energy phenomena and as-troparticle physics. After reminding the analogy with quasars, I focus on one of the best microquasar representatives, probably the archetype, namely GRS 1915+105, and present accretion and ej...
