Microquasars such as SS 433 are considered potential contributors to cosmic rays up to the knee of the cosmic ray energy spectrum ($\sim4\,\mathrm{PeV}$), where a transition in the dominant acceleration processes is expected. The SS 433…

Microquasars occasionally exhibit massive jet ejections which are distinct from the continuous or quasi-continuous weak jet ejections. Because those massive jet ejections are rare and short events, they have hardly been observed in X-ray so…
