Microquasars are promising candidates to emit high-energy gamma-rays. Moreover, statistical studies show that variable EGRET sources at low galactic latitudes could be associated with the inner spiral arms. The variable nature and the…

We calculate the expected effects on the spectral energy distributions and light curves in X-ray binary jets from eclipses by the donor stars. Jets will be eclipsed for all inclination angles, with just the height along the jet where the…

The Italian gamma-ray satellite AGILE has recently reported the detection of some variable high-energy sources likely of galactic origin. These sources do not have any obvious counterpart at lower energies. We propose that these sources are…

In an attempt to increase the number of known microquasars, Paredes et al. (2002) have presented a long-term project focused on the search for new objects of this type. They performed a cross-identification between X-ray and radio catalogs…

Microquasars are laboratories for the study of jets of relativistic particles produced by accretion onto a spinning black hole. Microquasars are near enough to allow detailed imaging of spatial features across the multiwavelength spectrum.…

The significance of jets and accretion disks in Astrophysics may be growing far beyond any single example of recent finds in the scientific journals. This brief review will summarize recent, significant manifestations of accretion disk…

Astrophysical jets are associated with the formation of young stars of all masses, stellar and massive black holes, and perhaps even with the formation of massive planets. Their role in the formation of planets, stars, and galaxies is…

This study focuses on high-redshift, z > 3, quasars where resolved X-ray jets remain underexplored in comparison to nearby sources. Building upon previous work, we identify and confirm extended kpc-scale jets emission in two quasars…

Jets are ubiquitous in the Universe and, as demonstrated in this volume, are seen from a large number of astrophysical objects. For a number of reasons, in particular their proximity and the abundant range of diagnostics to determine their…

We propose that relativistic Galactic jets like those observed in GRS 1915+105 and GRO J1655-40 may produce small but measurable contributions to the cosmic ray (CR) spectrum. If these jets contain cold protons and heavy ions (as in SS433),…

Relativistic outflows, or `Jets', represent one of the most obvious, important and yet poorly-explained phenomena associated with accreting relativistic objects, including X-ray binaries. In the past decade we have observed highly…

The variability in the infrared to millimetre emission from microquasar GRS 1915+105 is believed to be dominated by the system's relativistic jet. In this paper we develop a time-dependent version of the Blandford & Koenigl (1979) jet…

I review the progress made on the physics of black hole systems in the context of the analogy between AGN and microquasars that was proposed one decade ago. If the emerging empirical correlations between the observational properties of…

Superluminal motion has been interpreted as relativistically moving out flow. The increasing observations of such sources provide chance to investigate their mechanism in detail. This paper proposes that superluminal motion may be jet…

We have analyzed in detail a set of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations of the galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 corresponding to times when quasi-periodic oscillations in the infrared have been reported. From time-resolved…

Most of the electromagnetic output of blazars (BL Lac objects and Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars) comes out in the gamma-ray band, making the Large Area Telescope [0.1-100 GeV] onboard the Fermi satellite and the Cherenkov telescopes crucial…

Our understanding of the unification of jetted AGN has evolved greatly as jet samples have increased in size. Here, based on the largest-ever sample of over 2000 well-sampled jet spectral energy distributions, we examine the synchrotron…

The high kinetic energy outflowing in the jets of microquasars is delivered to the surrounding interstellar medium. This energy input can cause the formation of bow shocks and cocoons that may be detectable from radio to gamma-ray energies.…

About one thousand extragalactic large-scale jets are known, and a few tens of them are confirmed sources of infrared, optical, or X-ray photons. Multiwavelength emission comming directly from these outflows is always non-thermal in origin.…

We have discovered at x-ray and radio wavelengths large-scale moving jets from the microquasar XTE J1550-654. Plasma ejected from near the black hole traveled at relativistic velocities for at least four years. We present direct evidence…
