Abstract

A variety of recent optical, radio, and x-ray observation have confirmed the hypothesis that the peculiar star SS 433 is ejecting two narrow, opposed, highly collimated jets of matter at one-quarter the speed of light. This unique behavior is probably driven by mass exchange between a relatively normal star and a compact companion, either a neutron star or a black hole. However, numerous details regarding the energetics, radiation, acceleration, and collimation of the jets remain to be understood. This phenomenon may well be a miniature example of similar collimated ejection of gas by active extragalactic objects such as quasars and radio galaxies.

摘要

最近的各种光学、射电和 X 射线观测证实了这样一种假设，即特殊恒星 SS 433 以四分之一光速喷射出两股狭窄、相对、高度准直的物质喷流。这种独特的行为可能是由相对正常的恒星和一个紧凑伴星（中子星或黑洞）之间的物质交换驱动的。然而，关于喷流的能量学、辐射、加速和准直的许多细节仍有待理解。这种现象很可能是活动的河外天体（类星体和射电星系）类似的气体准直喷射的微型例子。
