1201.3209 (Gennady S. Bisnovatyi-Kogan et al.)

Thermal balance of the jet in the microquasar SS433    [PDF]

Gennady S. Bisnovatyi-Kogan, Yuri M. Krivosheyev
Thermal balance of the jet in the source SS433 is considered with account of radiative and adiabatic cooling, and different heating mechanisms. We consider jet heating by the inverse Compton effect of coronal hard X-ray quanta on jet electrons, the influence of shock wave propagation along the jet, and jet kinetic energy transformation into heat via Coulomb collisions of jet and corona protons. The most important heating mechanism for the source SS433 turns out to be Coulomb collisions of jet particles with the surrounding medium.
