Simulations of Gamma-Ray Emission from Magnetized Microquasar Jets

Figure 1

Scenario C: three-dimensional density snapshots obtained as in scenario A of [13], but now we added an accelerated precession of the jet that leads to the formation of a revolving jet flow. See the rightmost panel of Table 1, where the jet is the most evolved among the plots (parameters of run3, snapshot intervals 50/count). The jet’s behaviour resembles to that of scenario A (run1) of [13]. Also, now the jet sweeps a larger volume of ambient matter and propagates slower than in the nonprecession case, though now more ambient matter is further activated for emission. Matter piles up around the jet base, hinting on a halo of slower moving (outbound) material there, crudely reminiscent of the suggestion of [14] for a halo formed around SS433.
