Galactic Jets: microquasars, ...

Microquasars are binary systems harboring a normal star and an accreting compact object, from which jets are produced.

(Mirabel & Rodríguez 1999) Do we include Young Stellar Objects?

Non-thermal emission from microquasars

Persistent flat radio emission, sometimes extended at mas scales, is detected.

(e.g. Fender 2001, Stirling et al. 2001)

Radio blobs with ∼ 1”-size are observed after X-ray state changes.

(e.g. Mirabel & Rodríguez 1994, Martí et al. 2001, Fender et al. 2004)

(e.g. Shakura & Sunyaev 1973)

although non-thermal radiation may be also contributing.

Basics: acceleration, transport and work

Particle transport due to jet advection and particle diffusion takes place.

Diffusion time: tBohm ≈ 15 R2

j 10 B10 G E−1 TeV s

Advection time: tadv = 10 zj 11/vj 10 s

Adiabatic cooling is likely relevant, and can dominate the whole NT population.

Adiabatic cooling: tad ∼ 10 (Rj 10/vexp 9) s

The timescale of the acceleration process can be roughly characterized through ηacc rg/c with ηacc > 1.

Acceleration time: tacc ≈ 10−2 ηacc ETeV B−1

10 G s

Photomeson production, and even photodisintegration, cannot be discarded, but require more extreme conditions: very dense radiation and matter fields, and very high p/nuclei energies. (see Bosch-Ramon & Khangulyan 2009 and references therein)

Non-thermal emission

Reconnection or shocks can accelerate particles.

(e.g. Pineault 1982; Spruit 1988; Gouveia dal Pino & Lazarian 2005; Polko et al. 2010)

Different leptonic (rel. Bremss., synchrotron, IC) and hadronic (pp, pγ) models for non-thermal emission have been proposed. The role of pair creation cannot be neglected.

See, e.g.: Akharonian et al. (1985), Levinson et al. (2001); Markoff et al. (2001); Georganopoulos et al. (2002);; Romero & Vila (2008); Belmont (2008); Vurm & Poutanen (2009); Vieyro et al. 2010 (Bosch-Ramon et al. 2006)

Binary system scales: stellar wind-jet hydrodynamics

The jet interacts with the dense (inhomogeneous) stellar wind suffering a strong (asymmetric) recollimation shock, turbulence, and possibly disruption.

Non-thermal emission

Synchrotron and inverse are the most efficient processes, although in dense wind sources pp may be efficient. Free-free and photo-electric absorption of radio and X-rays in the wind. γγ → e± emission

Powerful ejections can produce non-thermal emission far from the binary. Instabilities, weak shocks

  • r shear layers can lead to

extended non-thermal emission.

The jet termination

Low-mass microquasars likely propagate in hot diluted media.

(e.g. Heinz 2002)

High-mass microquasars have to cross the SNR or the stellar wind blown structure.

(Bosch-Ramon et al. 2011; regarding SS 433, see, e.g., Velázquez & Raga 2000)

The jet/ISM shock goes through free propagation, adiabatic and radiative phases. The jet can suffer a strong recollimation shock. Recollimation, reverse, and forward shock: possible accelerators. Non-thermal and thermal emission is produced in the termination region.

(e.g. Bordas et al. 2009)

Other galactic jets: young stellar objects

Non-thermal radio emission have been detected from MYSO. Jets and their termination regions may produce high-energy emission.

(e.g. Crusius-Watzel 1990; Henriksen et al. 1991; Araudo et al. 2007, 2008; Romero et al. 2010; Parkin et

Concluding...

The corona and the jet base can be an efficient gamma-ray emitter (attenuation!). At binary scales (HMMQ), the jet and its environment is an efficient radio-to-gamma ray emitter (attenuation!). Large scale jets can still produce radiation, but new ejections are more efficient particle accelerators. Jet termination regions are non-thermal emitters and may be eventually detected in gamma-rays (like Cen A radio lobes!).

Keep an eye on Massive YSOs jets as potential high-energy sources.
