SLIDE 14 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)
X-rays are typically of thermal accretion origin, although non-thermal radiation may be also contributing.
(e.g. Shakura & Sunyaev 1973, Bisnovatyi-Kogan & Blinnikov 1976, Akharonian et al. 1985, Gierlinski et al. 1999)
Gamma rays have been detected from microquasars, likely from the jet at its base (MeV) and at binary scales (GeV–TeV).
(e.g. McConnell et al. 2002, Tavani et al. 2009, Abdo et al. 2009a, Sabatini et al. 2010)
The jet termination region is also a non-thermal emitter.
(e.g. Mirabel et al. 1992, Safi-Harb & Petre 1999, Corbel et al. 2002, Tudose et al. 2006)
