Jets from X-ray binaries
read the original abstract
Relativistic outflows, or `Jets', represent one of the most obvious, important and yet poorly-explained phenomena associated with accreting relativistic objects, including X-ray binaries. In the past decade we have observed highly relativistic flows, the resultant in-situ particle acceleration in the ISM, and begun to unearth the subtleties of the accretion -- outflow coupling on timescales from seconds to years. In this chapter I shall attempt, subjectively, to describe the state of research into jets from X-ray binaries as it stands at the beginning of 2003.

Non-uniform particle injection into black hole jets by radiative magnetic reconnection
Pair production via radiative magnetic reconnection near spinning black holes supplies non-uniform plasma to jets at levels sufficient to explain M87 radio emission.

Radio-X-ray Time Lags in GX 339-4: Probing Magnetic Field Transport in Black Hole Accretion
Time lag analysis using ICCF on GX 339-4 data reveals state-dependent radio-X-ray delays interpreted as evidence for magnetic field transport linking the inner accretion flow and jet.

Isolating Broadband Radio Technosignatures (BRaTs): A Framework for Detecting Planetary-Scale Leakage
A tiered observational strategy is outlined to identify planetary-scale broadband radio technosignatures (BRaTs) from advanced civilizations up to 100 pc away using multi-parameter diagnostics to separate them from na...
