The Galactic microquasar SS433 occasionally exhibits a major flare when the intensity of its emission increases significantly and rapidly. We present an analysis of high-resolution, almost-nightly optical spectra obtained before, during and…
(abridged) The review describes observations of SS433. The main difference between SS433 and other X-ray binaries is the supercritical regime for the gas accretion onto the relativistic star (most likely a black hole), which has lead to the…
ABRIDGED We present new results on the variations in speed and direction of the jet bolides in the Galactic microquasar SS433, from high resolution spectra, taken with the ESO 3.6-m New Technology Telescope almost nightly over 0.4 of a…
Mean orbital light curves of SS433 in different precessional phases are analysed for active and passive states separately. In passive states the mean brightness depends strongly on the disk orientation, the star is fainter by a factor about…
We present a re-analysis of the optical spectroscopic data on SS433 from the last quarter-century and demonstrate that these data alone contain systematic and identifiable deviations from the traditional kinematic model for the jets:…
For many astrophysical sources with jets, there is evidence for the contemporaneous presence of disks. In contrast, pulsars such as the Crab and Vela show jets but have not yet revealed direct evidence for accretion disks. Here we show that…
We present direct evidence, from Adaptive-Optics near-infra-red imaging, of the jets in the Galactic microquasar SS433 interacting with enhanced wind-outflow off the accretion disc that surrounds the black hole in this system. Radiant…
Jet systems with two unequal components interact with their parent accretion disks through the asymmetric removal of linear momentum from the star-disk system. We show that as a result of this interaction, the disk's state of least energy…
Observations of accreting black holes often provoke suggestions that their jets precess. The precession is usually supposed to result from a combination of the Lense-Thirring effect and accretion disc viscosity. We show that this is…
Context. The Galactic microquasar SS 433 launches oppositely directed jets at speeds approximately a quarter of the speed of light. Both the speed and direction of the jets exhibit small fluctuations. A component of the speed variation has…
SS433 is a Galactic microquasar with powerful outflows (double jet, accretion disk and winds) with well known orbital, precessional and nutational period. In this work we characterise different outflow parameters throughout the precessional…
We propose the scenario to interpret the overall observational features of the SS433--W50 system. The most unique features of SS433 are the presence of the precessing, mildly relativistic jets and the obscuration of the central engine,…
{The Galactic microquasar SS 433 is very luminous and ejects opposite jets at approximately one quarter the speed of light. It is regarded as a super-Eddington accretor but until recently there were no observations of accretion.} % aims…
We present observations of the optical ``moving lines'' in spectra of the Galactic relativistic jet source SS433 spread over a twenty year baseline from 1979 to 1999. The red/blue-shifts of the lines reveal the apparent precession of the…
SS433 is well-known for its precessing twin jets having optical bullets inferred through {\it spectroscopic} observation of $H_\alpha$ lines. Recently, Chakrabarti et al. (2002) described processes which may be operating in accretion disk…
We present the statistical analysis of 33 flare-related coronal jets, and discuss the link between the jet and the flare properties in these events. We selected jets that were observed between 2010 and 2016 by the Atmospheric Imaging…
The relativistic jets of SS433 are outstanding for their optical thermal radiation.The radiation is produced by small clouds ($10^8$ cm) whose lifetime is about $10^3$ times larger than the gas-dynamical crushing time. We show that the…
A central compact object (CCO, e.g. a black hole) with an accretion disk has been suggested as the common central engine of various astrophysical phenomena, such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), tidal disruption events (TDEs) and active galactic…
Study of the polarization behaviour in blazars is a powerful tool to discern the role of magnetic field in the variable emission process in their relativistic jets. We present here results of our systematic investigation on the correlation…
Studying the variability of the accretion disks of black holes and jets is important to identify their internal physical processes. In this letter, we obtain the characteristic damping timescale of 34 blazars and seven microquasars from the…
