Simulations of Gamma-Ray Emission from Magnetized Microquasar Jets

Figure 2

Scenario C: 3D illustrations of pressure evolution in the vicinity of the jet, as well as in the jet itself (in this case linear plots are produced, in order to better display the periphery of the system; see run3 parameters in Table 1). The three rightmost plots (b, c, d) share the same spatial size scale, whereas (a) has been magnified. The jet precession is visible, especially in (c) and (d), while a pressurized mass concentration can be found in the vicinity of the jet base, persisting throughout the model run and slowly advancing outwards. The front of the jet itself, due to precession, advances in an asymmetrical way.
